A Thesis On The Reciprocal Polars Of Conic Sections (1911)

A Thesis On The Reciprocal Polars Of Conic Sections is a scholarly work authored by Krishna Prasad and originally published in 1911. The book explores the topic of reciprocal polars in conic sections, which are curves that are created by intersecting a plane with a cone. The reciprocal polar is a curve that is associated with a given conic section, and it is defined as the locus of the poles of lines that are tangent to the conic section.In this book, Prasad delves into the mathematical theory behind reciprocal polars, providing a detailed analysis of their properties and relationships with conic sections. He presents a range of theorems and proofs that demonstrate the various ways in which reciprocal polars can be used to study and understand conic sections.The book is aimed at mathematicians and students of advanced mathematics who are interested in the study of conic sections and their associated curves. It is written in a clear and concise style, with a focus on mathematical rigor and precision. The work is considered to be an important contribution to the field of geometry and has been cited in numerous subsequent works on the topic.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
