Excellent

The elements of coordinate geometry Part 1 Cartesian Coordinates written by S L Loney is a very good text book of Cartesian coordinate geometry and its applications. It consists of several topics on various aspects of coordinate geometry such as locus, straight lines with rectangular coordinates, polar equations of straight lines and oblique coordinates, equations representing two or more straight lines, transformation of coordinates, Circles, Systems of Circles, Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola, Conic sections, Polar equations to conic, general equations and so on with numerous examples, deductions and illustrations. An ideal mathematics text book to follow by high school students to understand and learn coordinate geometry and people who are fond of mathematics. Thank you.

Very thought provoking.

The book is totaly based on higher consepts of maths like matrices and linear algebra..🙂

PERFECT FOR THEORY!!!!

Good book, I had studied this book more than 30 years ago, bought for my daughter.But the quality of the paper is simply rubbish. Way too thin paper with lots of punch holes. I doubt it will last 6 months.

Really satisfied with the product. There is no damage. Packaging was fine also.

This book is legendary, but only because there are very few coordinate books. The problems in this book are good, but please do not learn coordinate geometry with this book.For example, it defines an ellipse as a conic section whose eccentricity(e) is less than 1 . It doesn't begin by defining basic things like focus, eccentricity, vertex, centre etc of an ellipse. Without knowing those , you can't even begin to calculate the eccentricity of an ellipse. Yet, Loney proceeds to use the e less than 1 definition to derive every other property of an ellipse, including proving that an ellipse has two foci.I am sure that Loney found it mathematically beautiful to derive every other property of an ellipse form a single one. But I find it backwards. You will not see the beauty unless you have already studied coordinate geometry from a more basic book. Unfortunately, such a book doesn't exist.
