A Treatise on analytical Geometry 5y Rev. BENZ
Astronomy IN Georgetown College. 1882
The work Of the Rev Father Sestini purports to be
part Of complete Of mathematics destined for
the use Of the students Of Georgetown College We have
examined its pages with care and find its parts
ranged in the order which to best calculated
render easy and agreeable the study Of the Cartesan
Geometry Dispensing with the usual prelimnaries Of
the application Of algebra to the solution Of problems Of
geometry the author enters the region Of pure
analytical geometry and determines the expressions which
characterize the straight ne the curve plane and curved
surface in their utmost generality After showing how
the relations existing between the co-ordinates may be
expressed in algebrac language; he demonstrates
versey that agebraic and anscendental equations may
be interpreted as the expression Of such relations and
thence indicates the construction Of geometric loci.
In the discussion Of equations Of the second degree are
unfoded all the remarkable properties Of the ellipse the
paraboa and the hyperboa after the Of the
accomplished modern analysts The discussion Of these
occupies about hundred pages Of the volume
From the general equation Of the second degree
tanning three variables deduced all the general and
peculiar properties Of surfaces Of the second ORDER with
their classification into surfaces having centres and
faces having centres and these again into their re-
spective species.
Order and unity prevail throughout the work and such
perspcuity that in the deduction Of formula for special
cases. the truths contained in the general equations are
never lost sight Of We predict fer this work ready
