The Advanced Geometry of Plane Curves and Their Applications




File Size: 7.93 Mb

Description
Most textbooks on plane geometry show a certain onesideclness and concentrate the attention to an unduly great extent on conics, probably because these are so well suited to the illustration of general principles. Those properties, however, which require the introduction of differential quotients and integrals in the formulae are hardly mentioned at all in textbooks on analytical geometry and can be found in textbooks on the differential- and integralcalculus. Non-algebraic curves, finally, are mostly treated in textbooks on kinematics.

The present book is an attempt to combine the various parts of plane geometry. It gives a compilation of the most important properties of algebraic and transcendent curves together with their applications in physics and in technics; in the choice of the latter the author has been led by his own experience in
physical engineering.
