Publisher's Synopsis
Analytic Geometry by L. Wayland Dowling is a comprehensive textbook that covers the essential concepts of analytic geometry. The book is designed for students who have a basic understanding of algebra and geometry and are interested in learning how to apply these concepts to solve problems in analytic geometry. The book begins with an introduction to the Cartesian coordinate system and the basics of functions, including linear, quadratic, and polynomial functions. It then moves on to cover conic sections, including circles, ellipses, hyperbolas, and parabolas. The book also covers the properties of lines and planes in three-dimensional space, including vector equations, dot products, and cross products. It discusses the equations of planes and lines, as well as their intersections and angles of intersection. Other topics covered in the book include polar coordinates, parametric equations, and the calculus of curves. The book includes numerous examples and exercises to help students apply the concepts they have learned. Overall, Analytic Geometry by L. Wayland Dowling is an essential resource for students who want to develop a strong foundation in analytic geometry and prepare for advanced courses in mathematics and science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
