Ch. 1. An ellipse in the shadow. The ellipse as a plane section of a cylinder. The equation of the ellipse. A parametrization of the ellipse. The ellipse as a locus. Directrix for the ellipse. Geometrical determination of foci and directrices for the ellipse. The tangents of the…
The aim of this book is to throw light on various facets of geometry through development of four geometrical themes. The first theme is about the ellipse, the shape of the shadow cast by a circle. The next, a natural continuation of the first, is a study of all three types of co…
Aufbauend auf Grundkenntnissen der Analysis und der linearen Algebra behandelt dieses Lehrbuch die Geometrie der Kegel in geordneten normierten Räumen. Einerseits werden grundlegende Konzepte wie geordnete Vektorräume erläutert, andererseits werden - Grundkenntnisse in der Funkt…
Mathematicians delight in finding surprising connections between seemingly disparate areas of mathematics. Whole domains of modern mathematics have arisen from exploration of such connections--consider analytic number theory or algebraic topology. Finding Ellipses is a delight-f…
