Opis

Two main considerations had to be taken into account during the preparation of the handbook. First, it is the availability of the fundamental books containing a great body of data on plane curves such as the two-volume edition Spezielle algebraische and transcendente ebene Kurven by G. Loria. Second, it is the increasing use of personal computers possessing wide dynamic and graphic possibilities for the preparation of the new types of handbooks -- computer handbooks.
