Solid geometry is the part of mathematics that moves coordinate geometry from the flat plane into three-dimensional space. For many students it is the first time they have to picture planes, lines and surfaces in space instead of on paper, and a clear textbook with plenty of solved practice makes that step far easier.

What is analytical solid geometry?

In general, analytical solid geometry describes points in space by ordered triples of coordinates and then uses algebra to study the shapes they form. According to standard references on analytic geometry, a plane can be described by a point and a normal direction, which leads to a linear equation in three variables. A line in space is usually written in parametric form or as the meeting of two planes. A single equation in three variables usually gives a surface, and the family of quadric surfaces includes the sphere, ellipsoid, paraboloid, hyperboloid, cone and cylinder. These are the ideas on which any course in this subject is built.

About the authors and publisher

The book is credited to Shanti Narayan and P.K. Mittal, and the publisher shown on our listing is S Chand, one of the best-known educational publishers in India.

Why students choose this book

• It is positioned as a standard textbook for B.Sc. mathematics students
• It carries questions from B.Sc. examinations of many Indian universities, which gives students realistic practice
• It comes from a long-established educational publisher
• It is a paperback that is easy to carry to class, the library or a study group

How to study Analytical Solid Geometry effectively

Geometry cannot be learned by reading alone. Keep a notebook, a pencil and a ruler beside the book, and sketch every figure as you read. When a section introduces a plane, a sphere or a cone, draw a rough picture and mark the given quantities before touching the algebra. Many errors in this subject come from a wrong mental picture, not from wrong arithmetic.

Work through the solved examples slowly. Cover the solution, try the problem yourself, then compare. If your approach differs, find out where the two paths separate. Afterwards, attempt the unsolved exercises and the university questions from the book without looking at hints. Revise formulas by writing them out on a single page, and revisit that page every few days so that the standard equations become familiar.

A simple weekly plan

• Day 1 and 2: read one topic and rework its solved examples
• Day 3 and 4: solve the exercise questions and mark the ones that troubled you
• Day 5: attempt university-style questions in a fixed time
• Day 6: revise formulas and redo the marked questions
• Day 7: rest, or help a classmate, since explaining a method to someone else is a very good test of understanding

Who should buy this book

• B.Sc. mathematics students looking for a reliable solid geometry textbook
• Students who want practice with questions from university examinations
• Teachers and tutors who need a reference for classroom examples
• Learners in Srinagar and across Jammu and Kashmir who prefer to order college books from a trusted local store
