A thorough introduction to the theory of algebraic plane curves and their relations to various fields of geometry and analysis. Almost entirely confined to the properties of the general curve, and chiefly employs algebraic procedure. Geometric methods are much employed, however, ...especially those involving the projective geometry of hyperspace. 1931 edition. 17 illustrations.
