Synopsis
Excerpt from The Elements of Analytical Geometry: Comprehending the Doctrine of the Conic Sections, and the General Theory of Curves and Surfaces of the Second Order; Intended for the Use of Mathematical Students in Schools and Universities
English mathematicians have, however, been singularly slow in appreciating these decided advantages; so slow, indeed, that, till the year 1823, when Dr. Lardner published the first part of his Algebraic Geometry, the English language possessed not a single book on this subject. Besides this work, a treatise on analytical geometry has also emanated from the University of Cambridge, which, although a work of much originality and ability, the ingenuous author has since publicly acknowledged to be unsuited to the purposes of elementary instruction. Dr. Lardner's book will, no doubt, when completed, pre sent a valuable body of analytical science, accessible, however, to these only who have a knowledge of the differential and integral calculus.
Maclaurin, in his Treatise on Fluxions, first suggested this happy idea. Which threw a new light on the entire theory of mechanics. But, unfortunately, this simple principle has been neglected by later English authors, and much of what our mathematicians at present know and practise of this method, we owe chiefly to the re-importation of it through the medium of modern French works and many, perhaps, who are admiring the facility which is thus thrown into mechanical investigations of the greatest difficulty, are unconscious that this thought had its origin in our own land.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an accessible introduction to analytical geometry, a fundamental branch of mathematics that applies algebra to the study of geometrical problems. The author presents a clear and systematic approach, beginning with the basics of the subject and gradually progressing to more complex concepts. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the equation of a point, straight line, and circle; transformations of coordinates; and the discussion of general second-degree equations. The author also explores the application of analytical geometry to solving problems in areas such as conic sections, surfaces of the second order, and three-dimensional space. By combining theoretical explanations with solved examples and exercises, this book provides a solid foundation for students and anyone interested in understanding analytical geometry. Its insights are essential for those seeking to delve deeper into the subject and its applications in various fields. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
