Description

Coordinate Geometry by Luther Pfahler Eisenhart provides a comprehensive introduction to this fundamental area of mathematics. Determinants are introduced as a natural tool for coordinate geometry, and invariants of conic sections and quadric surfaces receive thorough treatment.

The book covers algebraic equations on the first degree in two and three unknowns, carefully reviewing and extending these results beyond what is typically covered in algebra courses. With over 500 exercises throughout the text, each idea is explained in full before being applied in novel settings.
