Inhaltsangabe

Elements of Geometry: Conic Sections, and Plane Trigonometry is a textbook written by Elias Loomis in 1895. The book covers the basic principles of geometry, including conic sections and plane trigonometry. It is intended for students who have already completed a course in elementary geometry and are looking to further their understanding of the subject. The book begins with an introduction to conic sections, including the ellipse, hyperbola, and parabola. It then moves on to plane trigonometry, covering topics such as the sine, cosine, and tangent functions, as well as the laws of sines and cosines. Throughout the book, Loomis provides numerous examples and exercises to help students better understand the material. Overall, Elements of Geometry: Conic Sections, and Plane Trigonometry is a comprehensive guide to the principles of geometry and is a valuable resource for students and teachers alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Reseña del editor

The stereotype plates pf my Elements of Geometry and Conic Sections having become so much worn by long-continued use that it was found necessary to recast them, the opportunity has been improved to give the entire book a thorough revision. As the general plan of the original work has met with very extensive approval, it has not been thought best to modify it materially; nevertheless, the minor changes which have been made are numerous and of considerable importance. The volume commences with a brief sketch of the history of Elementary Geometry, which, it is hoped, may increase the students interest in a subject which has occupied the attention of so many gifted minds. The definitions of Book Lhave been somewhat amplified, for the purpose of giving clearer ideas of the philosophy of the subject; and several no.tes have been added to the first pages of the book which, it is hoped, may be found useful and suggestive, although they are generally such as any competent teaicher might easily have supplied. In Book n. the subject of Ratio has been expanded, especially for the purpose of meeting the difficulty of incommensurable quantities; and in this I have followed substantially the method of Vincent in his Cours de Geometric. A few new propositions have been added to Books IH., IV., and V.; and at the close of Book VL is given a considerable collection of new theorems and problems, with some numerical exercises on the preceding books. These theorems and problems are so simple that it is hopedmany students may be encouraged to labor upon them; for no one can be considered as master of the subject of Geometry who has not acquired the ability to discover the demonstration of new theorems and the solution of new problems.
