THE authors of this volume have taken for their aim the axiom that the best preparation for the calculus is a suitable course in co-ordinate geometry. The text is thus divided into two sections: the ...

(1) THE theory of maxima and minima contains pitfalls into which have fallen such well-known mathematicians as Lagrange, Bertrand, Serret, and Todhunter. A peculiar interest, therefore, is attached to ...

One-semester review of manipulative algebra, introduction to functions, some topics in analytic geometry, and that portion of trigonometry needed for calculus. Prerequisite: MATH 011 or Placement Exam ...

Analytic geometry, also called coordinate geometry, is the study of geometry using the principles of algebra. The Cartesian coordinate system is usually applied to manipulate equations for planes, ...
