Sinopsis

Master analytic geometry with a clear, example‑driven introduction that ties algebra to geometry. This edition guides beginners through points, lines, circles, and beyond, helping you build practical problem‑solving skills.



The book presents core ideas in a step‑by‑step way, emphasizing how to use coordinates, plot and interpret points, and apply algebra to geometric problems. It offers structured chapters and a wealth of worked examples to reinforce understanding and develop confidence.




  • Foundational concepts: coordinate systems, axes, abscissas, ordinates, and quadrants.

  • Key objects: straight lines, circles, and the conic sections, with methods to derive their equations.

  • Loci and transformations: learn how moving points define curves and how changing coordinates reveals their properties.

  • Extensive practice: numerous examples and applications to solidify technique.



Ideal for readers beginning analytic geometry or seeking a reliable, hands‑on foundation in geometric reasoning.

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from The Elements of Plane Analytic Geometry: A Text-Ncluding Numerous Examples and Applications, and Especially Designed

The changes in the present edition consist mainly in the addition of a moderate amount of new matter. Almost all of this will be found after page 107, and in particular the last half of Chapter VIII and the whole of Chapter IX are new. It is hoped that in its present form the book will be found to cover the ground of the ordinary first course in analytic geometry as given in American colleges and technical schools, and that it will prove serviceable as a text-book in such courses.
