Description for Geometry of Conics
Paperback. Deals with the properties of conics (plane curves of second degree) that can be formulated and proved using only elementary geometry. Starting with the well-known optical properties of conics, this book moves to less trivial results, both classical and contemporary. It demonstrates the advantage of purely geometric methods of studying conics. Series: Mathematical World. Num Pages: 134 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PBM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 256 x 178 x 8. Weight in Grams: 276.
The book is devoted to the properties of conics (plane curves of second degree) that can be formulated and proved using only elementary geometry. Starting with the well-known optical properties of conics, the authors move to less trivial results, both classical and contemporary. In particular, the chapter on projective properties of conics contains a detailed analysis of the polar correspondence, pencils of conics, and the Poncelet theorem. In the chapter on metric properties of conics the authors discuss, in particular, inscribed conics, normals to conics, and the Poncelet theorem for confocal ellipses.
