Riguardo questo articolo

Print on Demand. This book sets forth the theories and principles of conic sections, or plane curves, generated by intersecting a cone with a plane. It originates in the writings of ancient mathematicians such as Apollonius of Perga and Pappus of Alexandria, whose ideas serve as the foundation of this book. The author presents the subject in a clear and systematic manner, beginning with the definitions and properties of conic sections and progressing to more advanced topics such as tangents, normals, and curvature. The book places particular emphasis on the parabola, discussing its geometric properties, equations, and applications in physics and engineering. The author combines rigorous mathematical analysis with practical examples and exercises, making this book an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and mathematicians interested in the study of conic sections. 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.

Excerpt from Elements of the Conic Sections

I. A straight line ab, and c a point noon r. Without it, are given in position. On the plane of abc, there is placed a ruler def, having its side'de applied to ab, and its other side EF on the same side of AB with the point C. A string'fgc is taken equal in length to'ef: and one end of this string A 4.
