Excerpt from Algebra Applied to Geometry: To Determine the Position of a Point at Rest, the Locus of a Moving Point, the Equation to the Straight Line, and the Equation to the Circle
The work now presented to the mathematical student was undertaken at the suggestions of some, who, having come up to the University unprepared, were frequently heard to com plain of the want of easy examples by which to test their proficiency in this subject, or to rivet new principles and ideas in the memory. To endeavour to supply this want, as well as to explain fully and clearly the simpler principles and their application, has been the object aimed at.
The examples are framed so as to meet the case of the students alluded to, and of those whose knowledge does not extend beyond Euclid's Elements, the easier part of Tri gonometry and Algebra, as far as quadratic equations only. If, however, the student have this knowledge, he may be assured that there is no problem proposed in the first and second chapters, for the solution of which he has not all the information that is requisite, so soon as he understands the terms made use of in the enunciations.
In Chapter I. He will find the problems useful, not only so far as they bear upon the present subject, but also from the fact, that almost every one depends upon results of Geometry, in the application of which he cannot have too much practice, if he would acquire dexterity in selecting out of them such as best suit any particular case.
