Coordinate Geometry

By Henry Dallas Thompson and Henry Burchard Fine

Book Overview

""Coordinate Geometry"" by Henry Burchard Fine is a comprehensive textbook that covers the fundamental concepts of coordinate geometry. The book provides a clear and concise introduction to the subject, with a focus on the Cartesian plane, equations of lines and circles, and transformations. The first few chapters of the book introduce the basic concepts of coordinate geometry, including the Cartesian plane, coordinates, and distance and midpoint formulas. The book then moves on to cover equations of lines, including slope-intercept and point-slope forms, as well as parallel and perpendicular lines. The next section of the book covers equations of circles, including standard and general forms, as well as tangent lines and common tangents. The book also includes a chapter on conic sections, including the parabola, ellipse, and hyperbola. The final section of the book covers transformations, including translations, reflections, rotations, and dilations. The book also includes a chapter on polar coordinates and complex numbers. Throughout the book, the author provides numerous examples and exercises to help students understand the concepts and apply them to real-world problems. The book is suitable for students studying coordinate geometry at the high school or undergraduate level, as well as for anyone interested in learning the fundamentals of this important mathematical discipline.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
