Description
New Age International (P) Ltd Vectors And Geometry by Dr. G S Pandey, Dr. R R Sharma
The book has been written strictly according to latest unified syllabi to T.D.C., B.Sc. first year of Madhya Pradesh universities and other Indian universities. The book is based on vectors and their simple application to geometry. The subject matter has spread out into five chapters which discuss the definition of vectors; addition, scalar multiplications. It also provides an idea about scalar and vector products to two and more vectors. It further elaborates vector equation of straight lines, bisector of angles between two intersecting straight lines and other related aspects. Vector equation of a circle, equation to tangent lines and tangent planes have also been discussed in detail. Besides these topics, equation to cone with given base, generators of cone, perpendicular generators and equation of a cylinder and its properties have been discussed by classical methods. Its last portion is devoted to polar-coordinates, polar equation to straight line, circle, polar equation of a conic etc. Sufficient illustrative examples have been given on each aspect so that an average student could grasp the subject without any difficulty. Suitably framed problems have been added at the end of each chapter for revision and testing of the things learnt.
