Plane and Solid Analytic Geometry

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The question may be asked: In so extensive a treatment of analytic geometry should not, for example, homogeneous eo ordinates find a place? The authors believe that the student, before proceeding to the elaborate methods of modern geometrv, should have a thorough knowledge both of the material and the methods which may fairly be called elementary, and they felt that a book which, avoiding the conciseness of some of the current texts and the looseness of others, is clear because it is rigorous will meet a real need.
