Excerpt from A Course in Descriptive Geometry and Photogrammetry for the Mathematical Laboratory
This operation of turning a plane into coincidence with another plane is of frequent application in the processes of descriptive geometry, and is known under the name of ra batting.* Several illustrations of the power and scope of this method will be seen in the next chapter.

Excerpt from A Course in Descriptive Geometry and Photogrammetry for the Mathematical Laboratory
One of the most desirable attainments of the mathematician is the ability to form a mental picture of three dimensional systems with ease and perspicuity, an ability which cannot better be developed than by a course of Descriptive Geometry.
It is a singular and regrettable fact that in most British Universities, Descriptive Geometry has hitherto been omitted from the regular mathematical curriculum and studied only in the technical classes. The tendency of recent years, however, is towards a recognition of its unique value, both from the educational and from the practical point of view.
The present tract embodies the course which is given to the non-technical students in the Mathematical Laboratory of the University of Edinburgh. In its compilation I have consulted from time to time the works of Catalan, Antomari, and Gino Loria, and, above all, the Géométrie Descriptive of Monge, which has been a never-failing source of inspiration.
I cannot bring this Preface to a conclusion without expressing my sense of deep obligation to Professor Whittaker for his invaluable suggestions and criticism, both during the compilation of the tract and during its passage through the press.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive guide to descriptive geometry, a method for representing three-dimensional systems on a two-dimensional plane. Established by Gaspard Monge in the 18th century, the method was initially developed for practical applications in fields such as architecture and engineering. Over time, it evolved into a vital tool for teaching solid geometry. The author provides a detailed explanation of Monge's method, which involves orthogonal projections onto two perpendicular planes. The book covers the representation of fundamental elements like points, straight lines, and planes, as well as more advanced topics such as curved surfaces and space curves. Through numerous examples and exercises, the author skillfully demonstrates the power and versatility of descriptive geometry in solving complex geometric problems. The book's historical context and clear presentation make it an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and professionals seeking a deeper understanding of descriptive geometry and its applications. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330071212_0
