Univocal Curves and Algebraic Curves on a Quadric Surface

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  03 November 2016

Extract

§ 1. The projective theory of conies is based chiefly on the fact that a conic is a unieursal curve, and the simplest analytical method of treatment is to take for reference a triangle formed by two tangents and their chord of contact, so that with suitable multiples of distances for coordinates the equation of the conic may be written in the form

y2xz=0.
