Publisher's Synopsis
The Principles of Elliptic and Hyperbolic Analysis is a book written by Alexander Macfarlane and published in 1894. The book is a comprehensive study of the principles of elliptic and hyperbolic analysis, which are two branches of mathematics that deal with the study of curves and surfaces.The book begins with an introduction to the basic concepts of elliptic and hyperbolic geometry, including the definition of curves and surfaces, and the properties of circles and ellipses. It then goes on to explore the theory of elliptic and hyperbolic functions, including their properties, their applications in geometry and physics, and their relation to other mathematical concepts.The book also covers the theory of differential equations, including the methods of solving them, and their applications in physics and engineering. It includes a detailed discussion of the Laplace equation, which is a fundamental equation in the study of elliptic and hyperbolic functions.Throughout the book, Macfarlane provides numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand the concepts and techniques presented. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both students and professionals in the field of mathematics.Overall, The Principles of Elliptic and Hyperbolic Analysis is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of elliptic and hyperbolic functions, and their applications in mathematics, physics, and engineering.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
