Plane Algebraic Curves (Classic Reprint)

English reader has not many suitable books at his disposal. Salmon sclassic treatise supplied all that could be desired at the time of its appearance, but the last edition was published some forty years ago, and has been long out of print. It seemed therefore as if a new book on the subject might be useful, if only to bring some more recent developments within reach of the student. In the preparation of this volume I have made frequent use of the books written byS almon, Basset, Wieleitner, Teixeira, Loria, c. But most of the contents and examples are extracted from a very large number of mathematical periodicals. With the exception of the list at the end of Ch. XX, I have not attempted to give systematic references. In fact, in a field which has attracted so many workers, it would be almost impossible to trace the steps by which particular results have reached their present form. In some cases I cannot eveli remember whether a result is my own or not; but Chapters IX, XI, XVII, and XVIII contain most of my own contributions to the subject. The solutions are mine for the most part, even in the case of examples derived from other authors.
