Intending as they have done, to make the subject more accessible, at least on the earlier portions, to all classes of students, they have endeavored to explain completely all the process which are most useful in dealing with ordinary theorems and problems connected with the straight line , and plane and particular surfaces of the second degree, and in doing so, their object has been to direct the student to the selection of the method which best adapted to the exigencies of each problem.
