Highlighted by numerous examples, this book explores methods of the projective geometry of the plane. It derives the projective properties of the conic and discusses representation by the general equation of the 2nd degree, concluding with a study of the relationship between Euclidean and projective geometry. 1960 edition. Reprint of the Oliver and Boyd, Ltd., Edinburg and London, 1960 edition.
