Beschreibung

Print on Demand. This book introduces and explores descriptive geometry, a practical subject that places geometry on a solid footing. It establishes foundational principles before giving their applications, recognizing that a strong grasp of first principles is essential for effective use of the subject. The author's approach involves two introductory chapters, one on straight lines and planes and another introducing descriptive geometry and solving problems on straight lines and planes. The book goes on to provide examples of the projections of plane and solid figures and discusses the solution of the spherical triangle. Trihedral angles, curved surfaces, surfaces of revolution, and intersections of curved surfaces are also addressed. Descriptive geometry's importance lies in its role as a tool to represent solid figures on a plane surface and solve solid geometry problems by reducing them to plane geometry problems. The author's focus on establishing principles before applications makes this book an effective and accessible guide for beginners, providing a solid foundation for further study in this field. 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.

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from Elements of Descriptive Geometry

I may add that I have never lost sight of the practical nature of the subject, and have introduced only so much theory as seemed to me necessary to place the practice on a proper footing.
