Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents several methods of projective geometry, an advanced study that extends Euclidean concepts to points at infinity, as a solution to examining curve singularities at those points. It is a classic study of a mathematical technique, tracing its origin to foundational Greek geometers over two millennia ago and its continued development throughout history by mathematicians including Newton, Plucker, and Cayley up to the early 20th century. The author presents these methods in great detail, providing historical context, thorough analytical proofs, and visual examples that bring the concepts to life. This book will fascinate those working in curve theory, projective geometry, and the history of mathematics.
