An Analytical System Of Conic Sections - Henry Parr Hamilton - Bog

An Analytical System of Conic Sections: Designed for the Use of Students is a mathematical textbook written by Henry Parr Hamilton and first published in 1834. The book provides a comprehensive and analytical approach to the study of conic sections, which are the curves formed by the intersection of a plane with a cone. The book is intended for students of mathematics and covers a wide range of topics related to conic sections, including their properties, equations, and applications in geometry and physics. The text is organized into chapters that cover each type of conic section in detail, including the ellipse, hyperbola, and parabola. Hamilton's approach to teaching conic sections is highly analytical, emphasizing the use of algebraic equations and calculus to derive the properties of these curves. The book includes numerous examples and exercises to help students master the material, and it also includes a set of tables and diagrams that provide a visual representation of the various properties of conic sections. Overall, An Analytical System of Conic Sections is an important work in the history of mathematics education, providing a rigorous and analytical approach to the study of conic sections that has influenced generations of students and mathematicians.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
