9781682502815: Elements of Coordinate Geometry

Synopsis

Coordinate geometry (or analytic geometry) is the study of geometry using a coordinate system. This contrasts with synthetic geometry. Analytic geometry is widely used in physics and engineering, and is the foundation of most modern fields of geometry, including algebraic, differential, discrete and computational geometry. Usually the Cartesian coordinate system is applied to manipulate equations for planes, straight lines, and squares, often in two and sometimes in three dimensions. The book envisages the fundamentals and features of coordinate geometry.
