Books with title An Elementary Treatise On Solid Geometry

Solid Geometry, and I have endeavoured to present the elementary parts of the subject in as simple a manner as possible. Those who desire fuller information are referred to the more complete treatises of Dr Salmon and Dr Frost, to both of which I am largely indebted. I have discussed the different surfaces which can be represented by the general equation of the second degree at an earlier stage than is sometimes adopted. I think that this arrangement is for many reasons the most satisfactory, and I do not believe that beginners will find it difficult. The examples have been principally taken from recent University and College Examination papers; I have also included many interesting theorems of M. Chasles. I am indebted to several of my friends, particularly toM rS. L. Loney, B.A., and toM rR H. Piggott, B.A., Scholars of Sidney Sussex College, for their kindness in looking over the proof sheets, and for valuable suggestions. CHARLES SMITH.

Excerpt from A Treatise on Solid GeometryIn the more difficult portions of the subject, they have considered themselves to be addressing a higher class of students, and here they have tried to lay a good foundation on which to build, if any of their readers should wish to pursue their studies in any department of the science, beyond the limits to which the work extends.The authors would willingly have given references to all the writers from whom they have derived information in the course of their work, but they have found this to be impossible, and they regret it the less, because it will not be supposed that they lay claim to every thing in which they have made no reference. They have, however, in a very large number of cases mentioned the names of eminent men, who have advanced the boundaries of the subject, and they hope it will be apparent, that they have appreciated the labours of such men as Cayley, Salmon, McCullagh, Roberts and Townsend; at all events they are sensible that, in many departments,- the treatise lately published by Salmon on the same subject proves how far their own work is from being perfect.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
