Sinopsis

This book marks an era in the history of mathematics by introducing the methods of analytical geometry. By establishing a connection between the two formerly different disciplines of geometry and algebra, the author has given mathematics a new and powerful tool. Using a Cartesian coordinate system to reduce geometry to the study of equations, complex geometrical problems can now be solved by simple and uniform algebraic computations. This valuable innovation has revolutionized the teaching of mathematics and made it possible to extend mathematical knowledge to a much wider range of problems, both in geometry and in the physical sciences.
