Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a definitive and detailed look at the processes of classifying conics and quadrics, enabling readers to classify a conic or quadric into its type - such as a parabola, hyperbola, or ellipse - from the equation alone, without any need for further calculation beyond determining the rank of the determinant of the equation to be simplified. The author presents a purely analytic treatment of the subject, leading up to a simple rule for determining the coefficients of the reduced equation, which is given by Bromwich in his book on "Quadratic Forms." The content is designed to furnish simple proofs of theorems from the theory of determinants as are essential to the reading of the chapters following, but which are not ordinarily familiar to the student who has had merely an introductory course in determinants.
