Elementary Functions and Analytic Geometry is an introduction to college mathematics, with emphasis on elementary functions and analytic geometry. It aims to provide a working knowledge of basic functions (polynomial, rational, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric); graphing techniques and the numerical aspects and applications of functions; two- and three-dimensional vector methods; and complex numbers, mathematical induction, and the binomial theorem. Comprised of 13 chapters, this book begins with a discussion on functions and graphs, paying particular attention to quantities measured in the real number system. The next chapter deals with linear and quadratic functions as well as some of their applications. Tips on graphing are offered. Subsequent chapters focus on polynomial functions, along with graphs of factored polynomials; rational functions; exponential and logarithm functions; and trigonometric functions. Identities and inverse functions, vectors, and trigonometry are also explored, together with complex numbers and solid analytic geometry. The book concludes by considering mathematical induction, binomial coefficients, and the binomial theorem. This monograph will be a useful resource for undergraduate students of mathematics and algebra.

Basic treatment includes existence theorem for solutions of differential systems where data is analytic, holomorphic functions, Cauchy's integral, Taylor and Laurent expansions, more. Exercises. 1973 edition.

An Introduction to Analytic Geometry and Calculus covers the basic concepts of analytic geometry and the elementary operations of calculus. This book is composed of 14 chapters and begins with an overview of the fundamental relations of the coordinate system. The next chapters deal with the fundamentals of straight line, nonlinear equations and graphs, functions and limits, and derivatives. These topics are followed by a discussion of some applications of previously covered mathematical subjects. This text also considers the fundamentals of the integrals, trigonometric functions, exponential and logarithm functions, and methods of integration. The final chapters look into the concepts of parametric equations, polar coordinates, and infinite series. This book will prove useful to mathematicians and undergraduate and graduate mathematics students.

facts. An elementary acquaintance with topology, algebra, and analysis (in cluding the notion of a manifold) is sufficient as far as the understanding of this book is concerned. All the necessary properties and theorems have been gathered in the preliminary chapters -either with proofs or with references to standard and elementary textbooks. The first chapter of the book is devoted to a study of the rings Oa of holomorphic functions. The notions of analytic sets and germs are introduced in the second chapter. Its aim is to present elementary properties of these objects, also in connection with ideals of the rings Oa. The case of principal germs (§5) and one-dimensional germs (Puiseux theorem, §6) are treated separately. The main step towards understanding of the local structure of analytic sets is Ruckert's descriptive lemma proved in Chapter III. Among its conse quences is the important Hilbert Nullstellensatz (§4). In the fourth chapter, a study of local structure (normal triples, § 1) is followed by an exposition of the basic properties of analytic sets. The latter includes theorems on the set of singular points, irreducibility, and decom position into irreducible branches (§2). The role played by the ring 0 A of an analytic germ is shown (§4). Then, the Remmert-Stein theorem on re movable singularities is proved (§6). The last part of the chapter deals with analytically constructible sets (§7).
