Publisher's Synopsis
Elements of Plane Analytic Geometry is a comprehensive textbook written by John Daniel Runkle and originally published in 1888. The book covers the fundamental principles and concepts of analytic geometry, which is the study of geometric shapes using algebraic equations. The topics covered in the book include lines, circles, parabolas, ellipses, hyperbolas, and conic sections. The book also covers the properties of curves, including their tangents, normals, and curvature. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific topic. The chapters are organized in a logical and progressive manner, with each chapter building on the concepts covered in the previous one. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to students of all levels. In addition to the theoretical concepts, the book also includes numerous examples and exercises to help students apply the concepts they have learned. The exercises range from simple calculations to more complex problems that require a deeper understanding of the material. Overall, Elements of Plane Analytic Geometry is an essential textbook for anyone studying mathematics, physics, or engineering. It provides a solid foundation in the principles of analytic geometry and prepares students for more advanced studies in these fields.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
