Abstract
THE book is to be welcomed as meeting the need for a single text-book dealing with all branches of geometry required in a two-years' course for a Higher School Certificate. The first seven chapters contain an analytical treatment of straight lines, circles and conies. Then follow three chapters on the geometrical properties of parabolas, ellipses and hyperbolas, treated sometimes analytically and sometimes by pure geometry, including orthogonal projection. The remaining chapters deal with the pure geometry of triangles and circles, solid geometry of straight lines, planes and polyhedra, and with the mensuration of prisms, pyramids, cones and spheres.
