Description

Designed as a textbook for the study of classical analytic geometry. Incorporates in-line chapter dialogs using Mathematica to illustrate underlying concepts. Each chapter begins with definitions of underlying mathematical terminology and develops the topic with detailed derivations and prools of important concepts. Chapters conclude with more advanced topics in the form of exploration problems. Full solutions are provided.
