  • The Chimes

    . Charles

    Paperback (Charles Dickens, April 30, 2017)
    There are not many people-and as it is desirable that a story-teller and a story-reader should establish a mutual understanding as soon as possible, I beg it to be noticed that I confine this observation neither to young people nor to little people, but extend it to all conditions of people: little and big, young and old: yet growing up, or already growing down again-there are not, I say, many people who would care to sleep in a church. I don't mean at sermon-time in warm weather (when the thing has actually been done, once or twice), but in the night, and alone. A great multitude of persons will be violently astonished, I know, by this position, in the broad bold Day. But it applies to Night. It must be argued by night, and I will undertake to maintain it successfully on any gusty winter's night appointed for the purpose, with any one opponent chosen from the rest, who will meet me singly in an old churchyard, before an old church-door; and will previously empower me to lock him in, if needful to his satisfaction, until morning.

    Paperback (RareBooksClub.com, July 5, 2012)
    This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1888 edition. Excerpt: ... tan 6 =-.-.-. = ±i, therefore eie = 0 or oo; or i6 =t Oo; and therefore 6 + a or 0 is of the form a ± i. oo. In other words the anomalous equation, tan (0 + a) = tan 6 = ±i, signifies that the tangent of the complex angle a ± i. /? approaches asymptotically to the limit ± i as fi becomes infinite. A straight line through a Focoid is commonly said to be only at right angles to itself, because in the expression for the tangent of the angle between y = mx, and y = m'x, the denominator 1 + mm' vanishes when m = m--± i. But the numerator m m' also vanishes, and the angle is indeterminate. Art. 79. PROBLEMS. The General Conic. 1. The distance of any point outside a conic from the focus is to its perpendicular distance from the directrix in a ratio greater than the eccentricity, and conversely. 2. If an ellipse, a parabola, and a hyperbola have the same focus and directrix, the ellipse lies wholly within the parabola, and the parabola wholly within the hyperbola. 3. Conics having the same focus and directrix do not meet. 4. If SL be the semi-latus rectum, and SD be drawn parallel to PR (Art. 4) to meet the directrix, then SP:PR = SL: SD. 5. The segments of any focal chord subtend equal (or supplementary) angles at the foot of the directrix. 6. Determine the pole of the latus rectum and the polar of the focus. Art. 69. 7. If chords PR, QR be produced to meet the directrix in p, q, the angle between the focal radii to p, q will be equal (or supplementary) to half the angle between the focal radii to P, Q. 8. If two tangents TP, TQ meet any third tangent in p, q, the angle betweeu the focal radii to p, q will be equal (or supplementary) to half the angle between the focal radii to P, Q. 9.

  • The Elementary Geometry of Conics

    Charles Taylor

    Paperback (Ulan Press, Aug. 31, 2012)
    This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
