This book is a compilation of all basic topics of Analytical Geometry of Two Dimensions and is intended to serve as an introductory text aimed towards undergraduate and graduate students in science and technology. An understanding of basic school level algebra and geometry can serve as the prerequisite for following this book. The present work is no original work but an attempt to make the subject thoroughly intelligible. All the important properties of the conics have been discussed either in the articles or in illustrative examples. Each chapter has sufficient completely solved problems and a set of carefully graded and motivating unsolved exercises. Please note: Taylor & Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

Geared toward advanced undergraduates and graduate students, this text covers the coordinate system, planes and lines, spheres, homogeneous coordinates, general equations, quadric in Cartesian coordinates, and intersection of quadrics. 1947 edition.

Originally published in 1934, this book starts at the subject's beginning, but also engages with profoundly more specialist concepts in the field of geometry.

"Topics are organized into three parts: algebra, calculus, differential equations, and expansions in series; vectors, determinants and matrices; and numerical analysis and statistics. The extensive use of examples illustrates every important concept and method in the text, and are used to demonstrate applications of the mathematics in chemistry and several basic concepts in physics. The exercises at the end of each chapter, are an essential element of the development of the subject, and have been designed to give students a working understanding of the material in the text."--BOOK JACKET.
