Analytic Geometry: With Introductory Chapter On the Calculus by Claude Irwin Palmer, William Charles Krathwohl
About this book :-
This is a classic mathematics textbook, provides a comprehensive introduction to "analytic geometry", starting with an introductory chapter on calculus to give readers the necessary tools for understanding geometric concepts algebraically. It is ideal for students, educators, and self-learners seeking a structured approach to "geometry and calculus".
The text covers the study of "lines, planes, curves, surfaces, and conic sections", emphasizing clear explanations, theoretical rigor, and practical problem-solving techniques. Each chapter presents methods for analyzing intersections, tangents, normals, and transformations, with numerous examples and exercises to reinforce learning. Palmer and Krathwohl’s approach ensures that complex geometric concepts are accessible while maintaining mathematical depth, making it suitable for advanced high school or early college students.
Originally published in 1921, this book is now in the "public domain", allowing free access for reading, downloading, and educational use. Its systematic presentation and focus on linking calculus with analytic geometry make it a timeless resource. The textbook remains valuable for anyone studying or teaching "mathematical analysis, geometry, or calculus", bridging classical methods with practical applications in problem-solving.

About Author :-
The author
Claude Irwin Palmer
was an early 20th-century mathematician and educator known for his expertise in "analytic geometry". He focused on making complex geometric and calculus concepts clear and accessible to students, emphasizing both "theoretical rigor and practical application". William Charles Krathwohl collaborated with Palmer to enhance the clarity and teaching approach of their textbooks. Together, they authored "Analytic Geometry: With Introductory Chapter on the Calculus" (1921), a structured and pedagogically strong guide for learning "geometry, conic sections, and calculus applications". Their work remains a valuable public domain resource for students and educators.
