A Treatise On The Higher Plane Curves: Intended As A Sequel To A Treatise On Conic Sections (1879) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163951712)

""A Treatise On The Higher Plane Curves: Intended As A Sequel To A Treatise On Conic Sections"" is a book written by George Salmon and published in 1879. The book is a comprehensive study of higher plane curves, which are defined as curves that cannot be generated by the intersection of a plane with a cone. The book is intended as a sequel to Salmon's earlier work on conic sections, and builds upon the concepts and techniques introduced in that book. The author begins by introducing the basic properties of higher plane curves, including their equations, singular points, and asymptotes. He then goes on to discuss the various types of higher plane curves, including cubic curves, quartic curves, and curves of higher degree. Throughout the book, Salmon provides numerous examples and illustrations to help readers understand the concepts being presented. He also includes a number of exercises and problems to help readers test their understanding of the material. Overall, ""A Treatise On The Higher Plane Curves"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of higher plane curves, and is a must-read for students of mathematics and geometry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
