Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Elementary Treatise on Analytical Geometry: Translated From the French of J. D. Diot, for the Use of the Cadets of the Virginia Military Institute at Lexington, Va;; And Adapted to the Present State of Mathematical Instructions in This College of the United States
The original work of M. Biot was for many years the Text Book in the U. S. Military Academy at West Point. It is justly regarded as the best elementary treatise on Analytical Geometry that has yet appeared. The general system of Biot has been strictly followed. A short chapter on the principal Transcendental Curves has been added, in which the generation of these Curves and the method of finding their equations are given. A Table of Trigonometrical Formula is also appended, to aid the student in the course of his study.
The design of the following pages has been to prepare a Text Book, which may be readily embraced in the usual Collegiate Course, without interfering with the time devoted to other subjects, while at the same time they contain a comprehensive treatise on the subject of which they treat.
