Excerpt from First Mnemonical Lessons in Geometry, Algebra, and Trigonometry
Concerning Grey's Memoria Technica there are two Opinions; one, of those who in their student-days had the good fortune to have the book placed in their hands; and another, of those who have learned (and forgotten?) their chronology, &0. Without it. I am sometimes amused by the readiness Of the latter division of persons to pro nounce judgment on the philosophic Old Doctor, with the air of men who have well considered the matter. More than one good scholar and good teacher do I know, who dispose of him coolly thus: the difference between studying and not studying Grey's book is this, that, in the latter case, you have certain things to learn and remember, and, in the former, you have the same things to learn, and a mass of frightful jargon besides.'

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an introductory guide to geometry, algebra, and trigonometry through the lens of the Cartesian plane. The author presents a conversational-style series of lessons which make the content accessible to a wide range of readers. Developed in the late 17th century, Descartes' plane is a coordinate system that relies on a grid of numbers to locate points on a plane and is one of the foundations of modern mathematics, with far-reaching applications in science and engineering. Using intuitive language, this book provides a deep dive into the possibilities of this system, with the learning made more accessible through a range of visual guides and memorable phonic patterns. The author's focus on the origins of equations as applied to the Cartesian plane gives readers a unique perspective from which to understand advanced mathematical concepts. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330374467_0
