Publisher's Synopsis
""An Introductory Account Of Certain Modern Ideas And Methods In Plane Analytical Geometry"" is a book written by Charlotte Angas Scott, a renowned mathematician and professor of mathematics at Bryn Mawr College. The book provides an overview of modern ideas and methods in plane analytical geometry, which is the study of geometric shapes and figures using algebraic equations.The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the basic concepts of plane analytical geometry, such as points, lines, circles, and conic sections. It also includes a discussion of coordinate systems, transformations, and the equation of a straight line. The second part of the book delves into more advanced topics, such as polar coordinates, curves of higher order, and the properties of conic sections.Throughout the book, Scott uses clear and concise language to explain complex mathematical concepts. She also includes numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand and apply the ideas presented in the book. The book is suitable for students and professionals in mathematics, engineering, and physics who want to deepen their understanding of plane analytical geometry. Overall, ""An Introductory Account Of Certain Modern Ideas And Methods In Plane Analytical Geometry"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in this fascinating field of mathematics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
