Elements of Analytic Geometry

Excerpt from Elements of Analytic Geometry

The opening chapter contains a summary of the new ideas associated with the use of algebraic language, which the stu dent is now first to encounter. His subsequent progress will depend very largely on the ease and thoroughness with which he can master this chapter. The next seven chapters correspond closely to the usual college course in plane analytic geometry; but the second sec tions of Chapters III. And IV. As well as some sections of Chap ter VIII., may be regarded as extras in this course.
