The two-part treatment begins with discussions of the coordinates of points on a line, coordinates of points in a plane, and the coordinates of points in space. Part 2 examines geometry as an aid to calculation and the necessity and peculiarities of four-dimensional space. Written for systematic study, it features a helpful series of \"road signs\" in the margins, alerting students to passages requiring particular attention, and an abundance of ingenious problems - with solutions, answers, and hints - promote habits of independent work\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e I.
