In classical mathematics, analytic geometry, also know as coordinate geometry , or Cartesian geometry , is the using a coordinate system. This contrasts with synthetic geometry. Analytic geometry is widely used in physics and engineering, and is the foundation of most modern fields of geometry, including algebraic, differential, discrete and computational geometry. Solid geometry was the traditional name for the geometry of three- dimensional Euclidean space. Stereometry deals with the measurements of volumes of various solid figures including pyramids, cylinders, cones, truncated cones, spheres, and prisms. This essential textbook is basically written for graduate courses in mathematics, provides an excellent exposition of the fundamentals of solid geometry.
