geometry online book

Mark two distinct points A and B on the plane of your note book. Can you draw a line passing through A and B? By experience we find that we can draw only one line through two distinct points A and B. Hence "Given any two distinct points in a plane, there exists one and only line contai..

a) Given an equation, to find the corresponding locus. b) Given a locus under some geometrical condition to determine the corresponding equation. The following properties of the curve will be very helpful in determining the full form of locus equation. i) Intercept: The intercept of a curve are th..

The word 'geometry' is derived from the Greek words 'geo' meaning 'earth' and 'metron', meaning 'measuring'. Geometry originated when man felt the need to measure his land. Ancient Egyptians were perhaps the first people to study geometry. Later, the Babyloni..

Rene' Descartes' (1596-1665), a French philosopher and mathematician, introduced a method by which the position of a point can be corresponded with an ordered pair of real numbers. These pair of real numbers are called the Coordinates. This method is the new idea of combining two branches of mathe..
