Sinopse:
Coordinate Geometry begins with the fundamentals of coordinates in a plane and moves immediately into the core problems that define analytic geometry: the straight line, the circle, and the standard conic sections. Its table of contents makes the structure clear from the start, with a first half devoted to plane geometry and later chapters on space, so the reader can see how every new idea grows out of the same coordinate method. The book advances from coordinates and line equations to the parabola, ellipse, and hyperbola, then broadens to the general equation of the second degree and systems of coordinates, including change of axes. It then carries the method into three dimensions, where points, planes, direction cosines, projections, polar coordinates, parametric equations, and surfaces expand the subject beyond the plane. What makes the volume stand out is its full sweep: it does not stop at the standard classroom topics, but connects plane analytic geometry to space geometry in a single, orderly progression. Readers get a classic, rigorous treatment that builds confidence with equations and loci while also revealing how coordinate methods unify a wide range of geometric problems.
