Elements of Analytical Geometry (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Elements of Analytical Geometry<br><br>No branch of pure Mathematics presents more to interest and improve the mind of the mathematical student, than Analytical Geometry. Uniting the clearness of the geometrical reasoning, with the brevity and generality of the algebraic, it not only satisfies the requirements of the closest reasoner, but gives continued and increasing pleasure, by the elegance with which its varied results are deduced and interpreted.<br><br>In preparing this treatise the Author has endeavoured to preserve the true spirit of Analysis, as developed by the celebrated French mathematician, Biot, in his admirable work on the same subject, while he has made such changes, both in the arrangement of the matter and the methods of demonstration, as he believed would render the whole more attractive, and easily acquired by any student possessing a knowledge of the elementary principles of Algebra and Geometry.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
