Solutions to Problems Contained in a Treatise on Plane Coordinate Geometry (Classic Reprint)

The greater part of this collection of solutions was made about fifteen years ago for the benefit of my pupils atM arlborough College, and has been tested by tolerably frequent use since that time. I have thought that it may be serviceable to give a abort introduction, detailing certain of the more important facts in the Theory of Equations, so far as they bear on the subject. I have endeavoured to render the solutions intelligible to those who are working the subject through for the first time; consequently the earlier chapters are treated in fuller detail than the later ones, and I have at times given alternative solutions, where such seemed likely to be instructive. For the same reason geometrical methods have been occasionally employed in preference to analytical ones, in order that the student may not become a mete manipulator of equations .I have endeavoured to secure as much accuracy as possible by re-working each example as I copied it out for the press, and by again re-working each from the proof-sheets. I shall be very grateful for any hints or corrections. C. W. BOURNE. IXVKRNESS C0I,LEUE, July.
