Conics and Cubics: A Concrete Introduction to Algebraic Curves (Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics) (2nd Edition) by Robert Bix Hardcover, 347 Pages, Published 2006 ISBN-10: 0-387-31802-X / 038731802X ISBN-13: 978-0-387-31802-8 / 9780387318028 Conics and Cubics is an accessible introduction to algebraic curves. Its focus on curves of degree at most three keeps results tangible and proofs transparent. Theorems follow naturally from high school algebra and two key ideas, homogeneous coordinates and intersection multiplicities. By classifyin |
