Method of Coordinates (Little Mathematics Library) | A. S. Smogorzhevsky

The booklet deals with a fundamental method of analytical geometry and its ability to describe geometrical figures through equations. This method permits geometrical study and solution of geometrical problems by algebraic means, thus making a visual representation of complex spatial configurations superfluous. Considerable attention has been devoted to the question of representing geometrical figures through equations, which is often difficult for those who being to study the method of coordinates. Detailed examples have been given to illustrate the application of the method. The booklet is intended for senior school children and all those interested in mathematics.
