Excerpt from New Analytic Geometry A glance at the Table of Contents of the present volume Will reveal the fact that the subject matter differs in many respects from that included in current textbooks on analytic geometry.. The authors have recognized the great importance, in the applications, of the exponential and trigonometric func tions, of setting up and studying functions by their graphs, of parametric equations and the locus problem, and of fitting curves to points determined by empirically given data. To meet this need chapters have been included covering all these topics. The discussion in Chapter VI of transcendental curves and equations is intended to be thorough, and tables are provided, Whenever useful, to lighten the labor of computation. A stu dent loses interest in a function if he is unable to calculate rapidly its numerical values. The problems of Chapter VIII provide a large variety of functions arising from applied prob lems, and careful graphing and measurement of maximum and minimum values are emphasized. The text of Chapter XII 311 Parametric Equations and Loci is unusually complete, and aare is taken to familiarize the student with those curves Which mom in applied mathematics. The study of locus problems )y means of parametric equations is amply illustrated. Chap er XX presents the topic of empirical equations and contains 1. Wide variety of problems.
