Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an updated treatment of solid geometry building upon the author's earlier work in the field. The author presents a mature and thorough treatment of planes, lines, and surfaces, building up to the advanced mathematical concept of the locus of an equation. This concept is developed through Apollonius' conics (the ellipse, parabola, and hyperbola) and is deepened and expanded through a general discussion of second degree equations. Alongside a thorough investigation of these classical topics, the author also provides a brief discussion of Boole's and Cayley's foundational work in higher dimensional geometry. This book is still useful today for its clear explanations, thorough development of subject material, and its engaging style.
