DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from An Elementary Treatise on the Geometry of Conics This work contains elementary proofs of the principal properties of Conics, and is intended for students who proceed to the study of the subject after finishing the first six books of Euclid: the curves have not, therefore, been defined as the sections of a cone, although that method has the sanction of history and antiquity in its favour; and for the same reason, no use has been made of the method of projections. As regards the arrangement of the subject, I have thought it best to devote separate chapters to the parabola, the ellipse, and the hyperbola. The plan of starting with a chapter on general conics, in which some fundamental propositions arc proved by methods applicable to all the three curves, has no doubt the advantage of securing an appearance of brevity. But, I believe, beginners find the subject more intelligible when the properties of the three curves are discussed separately.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from An Elementary Treatise on Pure Geometry: With Numerous Examples I have assumed that the reader has passed through the ordinary curriculum in Geometry before attempting to read the present subject; viz. Euclid, some Appendix to Euclid, and Geometrical Conics. I have not found it convenient to keep rigidly to any single notation. But, ordinarily, points have been denoted by A, B, lines by a, b, and planes and conics by a, 67 73. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from An Elementary Treatise on Cross-Ratio Geometry: With Historical Notes As there is scarcely any part of conics to which the theory of cross-ratio is not applicable, and as I wished to curtail the size of the book as much as possible, it was necessary to follow some definite path, and I have selected the course which leads us to consider conics through four points, and conics touching four lines, their common chords and tangents, the relations between the four constants of homology obtained by taking any pair of common chords with the pair of corresponding tangent vertices as axes and centres of homology, and conics having double contact. I took this route because it contains parts of the subject which have not previously been fully treated, and at the same time it gives the student a good illustration of the power of the theory. A good deal of the work in these chapters is original, and where it is not so, references have been given, where possible, to the original authorities.
