Excerpt from Analytic Geometry of Space In Chapter IX tetrahedral coordinates are introduced by means of linear transformations, under which various invariant proper ties are established. These co'ordinates are used throughout the next three chapters. The notation is so chosen that no ambigu ity 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 Plucker's num bers may be omitted without disturbing the continuity of the subject. In the last chapter extensive use is made of the cal culns, including the use of partial differentiation and of the element of arc.
