Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, originally authored in French in 1867, is a rigorous exploration of the application of Cartesian geometry to surfaces and curves of the second order. The author's rare genius and originality are evident through his nonlinear approach, which nonetheless elucidates the theoretical underpinnings of his subject, and illuminates not only the tangent planes, points of contact, and polar planes of conics and quadrics, but also establishes the foundations of such crucial concepts as the circumscribed cone and ruled surface. Of particular importance is its exploration of the general theory of surfaces and curves of the second order, which laid the groundwork for much of our present understanding. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
