Coordinate Geometry (Dover Books on Mathema 1.4tics)

This textbook explores the configurations of points, lines, and planes in space defined geometrically, translates them into algebraic form using the coordinates of a representative point of the locus, and derives the equations of the conic sections. The Dover edition is an unabridged republication of the work originally published by Ginn and Company in 1939. Annotation 2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
