Publisher's Synopsis
""Geometry, Plane, Solid, and Spherical, in Six Books: And a Treatise on Algebraical Geometry"" is a comprehensive mathematics textbook written by Pierce Morton and originally published in 1830. The book covers a wide range of topics related to geometry, including plane geometry, solid geometry, and spherical geometry. It is divided into six books, each of which covers a different aspect of geometry. The first book focuses on the basics of plane geometry, including points, lines, angles, and triangles. The second book covers the properties of circles and other curved shapes. The third book delves into solid geometry, including the properties of prisms, pyramids, and other three-dimensional shapes. The fourth book explores spherical geometry, which is the study of shapes on the surface of a sphere. The fifth and sixth books cover more advanced topics in geometry, including conic sections and the properties of curves. Additionally, the book includes a treatise on algebraic geometry, which is the study of geometric objects defined by algebraic equations. Overall, ""Geometry, Plane, Solid, and Spherical, in Six Books: And a Treatise on Algebraical Geometry"" is a comprehensive and detailed guide to the study of geometry, and it remains a valuable resource for students and scholars of mathematics today.To Which Is Added, In An Appendix, The Theory Of Projection, So Far As It Is Auxiliary To Geometry. With An Account Of The Plane Sections Of The Cone And Cylinder, Which Certain General Properties Of The Conic Sections Are Demonstrated By Help Of The Foregoing Theory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
