Extract

Goodner has studied the equations to conic sections in the elliptic plane by following the methods of Euclidean geometry and using Weierstrassian co-ordinates. In the present note the author has investigated several properties of the elliptic circles from the same analytic standpoint and has shown that some of the well-known properties of the Euclidean circles hold as well for the elliptic circles.
