New Elements of Conic Sections: Together with a Method for Their Description on a Plane is a mathematical treatise written by Philippe De La Hire and first published in 1729. The book presents a comprehensive study of conic sections, including their properties, equations, and geometric interpretations. De La Hire also introduces a new method for describing conic sections on a plane, which he calls the method of tangents. This method involves constructing tangent lines to the conic section at various points and using these lines to determine its shape and properties. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to both students and scholars of mathematics. It is considered a classic work in the field of conic sections and has been influential in the development of modern geometry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
