Curve Tracing in Cartesean Coordinates
From the PREFACE.

This book relates, not to the general theory of curves, but to the definite problem of ascertaining the form of a curve given by its equation in Cartesian coordinates, in such cases as are likely to arise in the actual applications of Analytical Geometry. The methods employed are exclusively algebraic, no knowledge of the Differential Calculus on the part of the reader being assumed.

I have endeavored to make the treatment of the subject thus restricted complete in all essential points, without exceeding such limits as its importance would seem to justify. This it has seemed to me possible to do by introducing at an early stage the device of the Analytical Triangle, and using it in connection with all the methods of approximation.

About the Author

William Woolsey Johnson (1841–1927) was an American mathematician, who was one of the founders of the American Mathematical Society. He served as one of the five members of the Council of the American Mathematical Society for the 1892–1893 term[2] and he was one of the impulsors of the birth of the Bulletin of the Society and one of his main first contributors. Johnson is mainly remembered by his books on differential calculus, basing it on related rates. He is also known to be the first on probing the conditions of solvability of the 15 puzzle.
