What You Will Learn in Analytic Geometry of Space
This text Analytic Geometry of Space by V. Snyder, T.P. Hill is introduces students to three-dimensional geometry using algebra and calculus. The book starts with basics like rectangular coordinates and moves on to more advanced topics such as transformations and partial differentiation. It has helped many students understand the math of 3D shapes and remains a valuable resource for learning analytic geometry.
The first eight chapters include the subjects usually treated in rectangular coordinates. They presuppose as much knowledge of algebra, geometry, and trigonometry as in the major requirement of the College Entrance Examination Board, and as much plane analytic geometry as is contained in the better elementary textbooks.
In Chapter IX tetrahedral coordinates are introduced by means of linear transformations, under which various invariant properties are established. These coordinates are used throughout the next three chapters. The notation is so chosen that no ambiguity can arise between tetrahedral and rectangular systems. The selection of subject matter is such as to be of greatest service for further study of algebraic geometry. In Chapter XIII a more advanced knowledge of plane analytic geometry is presupposed, but the part involving Plticker s numbers may be omitted without disturbing the continuity of the subject. In the last chapter extensive use is made of the calculus, including the use of partial differentiation and of the element of arc.

About the Author: Virgil Snyder
The author
Virgil Snyder
was an American mathematician who taught at Cornell University, known for his important contributions to algebraic geometry. He studied math in Germany and later became president of the American Mathematical Society. Snyder worked closely with Charles H. Sisam, his colleague at Cornell, and together they wrote Analytic Geometry of Space. Their joint work has helped many students learn about 3D geometry.
