Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a method, analytical geometry, that applies algebra to geometry. First developed by Renà Descartes, it allows geometrical figures to be represented by equations. Through a geometric and algebraic approach, the author explains how to find the distance between two points, how to determine the equation of a line, and how to calculate the area of a triangle. Suitable for students beginning a course in analytical geometry, this book endeavors to make the subject as easy and gradual as possible. Throughout, the author emphasizes the accessibility of the subject, illustrating geometrical ideas through easily reproducible diagrams. This book goes on to discuss properties of conic sections and introduces concepts such as foci, directrix, and eccentricity. Providing a solid foundation in analytical geometry, this book will benefit any student of mathematics and physics.
