Sinopse:
A reader looking for a clear route through analytic geometry gets exactly that here: the book opens with Introduction and Geometric Magnitudes, then moves through Loci and their Equations, The Straight Line, The Circle, and Transformation of Coordinates before expanding into the conic sections. That sequence gives the work a strong classroom rhythm, from basic ideas to the standard curves and the coordinate changes needed to handle them. The contents show a broad, orderly college text rather than a narrow pamphlet. After Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola, and Conics in General, it continues with Polar Coordinates, Higher Plane Curves, and then a second half that reaches Point, Plane, and Line and Surfaces. The final back matter, including a Note on the History of Analytic Geometry, suggests the authors also wanted readers to see where the subject fits in the larger mathematical tradition. This is a substantial introductory undergraduate textbook, shaped for a semester or a full-year course and built to support both concise teaching and deeper study. Readers finish with a structured grasp of plane and solid analytic geometry, along with the vocabulary and methods needed for higher mathematics.
