A thorough, complete, and unified introduction, this volume affords exceptional insights into coordinate geometry. Invariants of conic sections and quadric surfaces receive full treatments. Algebraic equations on the first degree in two and three unknowns are carefully reviewed. Throughout the book, results are formulated precisely, with clearly stated theorems. More than 500 helpful exercises. 1939 edition. Unabridged republication of the edition published by Ginn and Company, 1939.

Continuous Groups of Transformations by Luther Pfahler Eisenhart Intensive study of theory and geometrical applications of continuous groups of transformations features discussions of tensor analysis, Riemannian geometry, and applications of theory of continuous groups to modern physics. 1933 edition.
Non-Riemannian Geometry by Luther Pfahler Eisenhart This concise text by a prominent mathematician deals chiefly with manifolds dominated by the geometry of paths. Topics include asymmetric and symmetric connections, the projective geometry of paths, and the geometry of sub-spaces. 1927 edition.
A Treatise on the Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces by Luther Pfahler Eisenhart Created especially for graduate students by a leading writer on mathematics, this introduction to the geometry of curves and surfaces concentrates on problems that students will find most helpful.
Analytical Conics by Barry Spain This concise text introduces analytical geometry, covering basic ideas and methods. An invaluable preparation for more advanced treatments, it features solutions to many of its problems. 1957 edition.
