Theory and Problems of Plane and Solid Analytic Geometry 1950 Joseph H. Kindle

Description: Theory and Problems of Plane and Solid Analytic Geometry: Schaum's Outline Series in Mathematics, by Joseph H. Kindle. Published in 1950 by McGraw-Hill Book Company. This problem book is designed to supplement courses in analytic geometry which are usually given in colleges and technical schools. It follows closely the order used in most textbooks of analytic geometry. A total of 345 carefully solved representative problems and 910 supplementary problems for practice, of varying degrees of difficulty, is included. The problems are so arranged as to present a natural development of each topic. Since analytic geometry is primarily a problem solving course and since one of the principal causes of poor work in any course in mathematics is disorderly ways of attempting to solve problems, we are convinced that this book, properly used, will prove very helpful. It is intended also to be of service to students who feel the need for a review of the fundamental theory and problem work of analytic geometry. Proper use of the book necessitates a clear understanding of what it is not as well as what it is. It is definitely not a formal textbook and you should not attempt to use it as a means of avoiding a careful study of your regular text. Each chapter of the book has a brief summary of the necessary definitions, principles and theorems, followed by graded sets of solved and supplementary problems. It cannot be emphasized too strongly that one learns mathematics by doing mathematics, by solving problems. A perfunctory reading of a textbook, the memorizing of a few likely-looking formulas, and a casual study of the problems solved in this book will do no more than give an illusory feeling of well-being; actually, you have gained little more than a vague impression of the material. To make effective use of this book, you should reproduce the solutions on paper, pausing to see the why as well as the how of each step. There is something to be learned from each of the solved problems; and when you have learned it, you should have very little difficulty with most of the supplementary practice problems and with the problems of your text. This book is in very good condition for its age. There is a small number written in pencil on the first page, and the first page has slightly separated from the binding at the bottom. Otherwise, all of the pages are intact and there is no marking, writing or highlighting. The front and back covers are also in very good condition.
