Overview

Excerpt from Chapters on the Modern Geometry of the Point, Line, and Circle, Vol. 1: Being the Substance of Lectures Delivered in the University of Dublin to the Candidates for Honors of the First Year in Arts The work now offered to the public contains, as its title indicates, the substance of lectures de livered for some years in the University of Dublin to the candidates for mathematical honors of the first year in arts; and supposes, accordingly, a previous acquaintance only with the first six books of the Elements of Euclid, and with just that amount of the principles of Elementary Algebra essential to an intelligent conception of the nature of signs, and of the meaning and use of the ordi nary symbols of operation and quantity. The acknowledged want of a systematic treatise on Modern Elementary Geometry, adapted to the requirements of students unacquainted with the higher processes of Algebraic Analysis, which of late years have been applied so successfully to the extension of geometrical knowledge, has induced the author to come forward with the present attempt to supply the deficiency. The only existing work of the same nature in the English language with which he is acquainted, the Principles of Modern Geometry, of the late lamented Dr. Mulcahy.
