Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces readers to the field of conic sections, a branch of mathematics that deals with the geometry of sections of a cone. The author presents a thorough exploration of the three main types of conic sections: the parabola, the ellipse, and the hyperbola. With a clear and engaging writing style, this book is suitable for both students and enthusiasts seeking a comprehensive understanding of conic sections. The author begins by introducing the basic concepts of conic sections and their generation. Each type is then examined in detail, including its geometric properties, equations, and applications. This book also covers advanced topics such as the use of conic sections in optics and astronomy. The author's approach is both rigorous and accessible, providing a solid foundation in the subject matter. This book is an excellent resource for anyone looking to delve into the fascinating world of conic sections. Whether you are a student, a researcher, or simply someone with a keen interest in mathematics This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. xii+332 pages with woodcut ornament to title and 9 folding engraved plates, Octavo (8" x 5 1/4") bound in period mottled calf, spine in compartments and with modern (to style) brown leather label. (ESTC T140561) Fist edition. Elements of Conic Sections in Three Books: In Which Are Demonstrated the Principal Properties of the Parabola, Ellipse, and Hyperbola is an influential 18th-century mathematical treatise written by the Scottish mathematician Richard Jack and originally published in 1742. The work is highly regarded as a classical reference for university-level study in synthetic geometry. It provides definitions, theorems, and proofs using purely geometric methods over algebraic abstractions. Book I: The Parabola - Focuses heavily on how the curve is generated and details key features like its axis, vertex, focus, directrix, diameters, ordinates, and tangents. Book II: The Ellipse - Establishes properties regarding conjugate diameters, axes, foci, and tangents, demonstrating foundational rules for how ellipses are structurally characterized. Book III: The Hyperbola - Explores the unique attributes of the hyperbola, focusing extensively on its asymptotes, conjugate diameters, foci, and tangency criteria. Richard Jack (d.1759) gave lectures on natural and experimental philosophy, first in Edinburgh and later in London. He also worked as a military engineer. The work was well-regarded and its subject matter features in a substantial article on conic sections in the first edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1771, which is credited to Jack. Condition: Corners bumped and rubbed, boards scuffed some internal spotting else good to very good.…
