Robson A. An Introduction to Analytical Geometry. Volume 2

Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1947. — VIII, 215 p.Volume 2 of a textbook on analytical geometry. With his second volume Mr. Robson proceeds to those topics which, after Volume I, "seem to the author to be most worth a place in the early part of the geometry course".A note of the chapter headings will give an idea of the contents: Homography; Involution; General Geometry; Ranges on a Conic; Systems of Conics; Reciprocation; General Cartesian Conic; Foci and Confocals; Normals and Evolutes; Special Homogeneous Coordinates. Mr. Robson uses, as always, whatever method comes most conveniently to hand, though one has the impression that "pure geometry" predominates. Cartesian and homogeneous coordinates are loth in use, as well as polars, areals and trilinears. Many of the proofs, both of theorems and of examples, have that "slickness" which we expect of the author.Homography
