An Elementary Treatise On Plane Geometry, According To The Method Of Rectilineal Coordinates (1857)

""An Elementary Treatise On Plane Geometry, According To The Method Of Rectilineal Coordinates"" is a book written by Thomas Smith and originally published in 1857. The book is a comprehensive guide to plane geometry, which is the study of two-dimensional shapes and their properties. The book is structured according to the method of rectilineal coordinates, which is a mathematical system that uses a grid of intersecting lines to locate points in space.The book covers a wide range of topics in plane geometry, including lines, angles, triangles, circles, polygons, and conic sections. The author provides detailed explanations of each concept, along with numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand and apply the material. The book also includes a section on the history of geometry and its development over time.Overall, ""An Elementary Treatise On Plane Geometry, According To The Method Of Rectilineal Coordinates"" is a valuable resource for students and teachers of mathematics, as well as anyone interested in the history and development of geometry as a discipline.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
