The Elements of Coordinate Geometry (Cartesian Coordinates) Part-I

The first part of Elements of Coordinate Geometry by S.L. Loney is designed to serve as a comprehensive textbook for students to build a solid foundation when preparing for entrance exams. The book is among our ‘Classic Texts Series’ a bestseller collection of elementary textbooks for students to develop in-depth knowledge in various learning domains of Mathematics and Physics. The current edition of the book contains syllabus aimed at beginner and junior level students. This part contains over 1100 examples in Cartesian and Polar Coordinates.Various topics have been covered on 17 chapters overall. These are – Introduction Some algebraic results Coordinates Lengths of Straight Lines and Areas of Triangles Locus Equation to a Locus Straight line rectangular coordinates Straight line Polar Equations and Oblique Coordinates Equations representing Two or more Straight lines Transformation of Coordinates The circle System of Circles Conic Sections The Parabola The Ellipse The Hyperbola Polar Equation to a Conic General Equation & Tracking of Curves General Equation and Miscellaneous Propositions All these topics cover various concepts of Coordinate Geometry in a concise manner. Every chapter begins with bulleted introduction of important concepts theorems and formulae. This is followed by examples which help in better understanding the concept. Topic – wise solved examples are given to facilitate effective comprehension. These are followed by unsolved problem sets for better revision of concepts learnt. Apart from this miscellaneous examples that illustrate different aspects of Coordinate Geometry have also been provided towards the end of every chapter to develop understanding of complex problems. The solutions to all unsolved exercises are provided in the end of the book with detailed solutions to more difficult problems. The book will preside as a complete elementary textbook for developing deeper understanding of various elements of Coordinate Geometry.
