"For several centuries geometry and algebra developed slowly, bit by bit, as distinct mathematical disciplines. In 1637, however a French mathematician and philosopher, Rene Descartes, published his La Geometrie, which introduced a device for unifying these two branches of mathematics. The basic feature of this new process, now called analytic geometry, is the use of a coordinate system. By means of coordinate systems algebraic methods can be applied powerfully in the study of geometry, and perhaps of still greater importance is the advantage accuring to algebra by graphical representation of algebraic equations. Indeed, Descartes' remarkable contribution paved the way for rapid and far-reaching developments in mathematics, and analytic…

The pages are yellowing and tanning, but there are no markings on the pages. There are some dog-eared pages. "Mathematics gives two methods for solving any problems, the analytical and the graphical. In the analytical method results are obtained by calculations; in the graphical by drawings which present true relationships and solutions without calculations. The solution of problems pertaining to space magnitudes by the graphical method requires application of the principles of Descriptive Geometry or the graphics of space. It is the theory of Drafting...." - Chapter One from Descriptive Geometry
