Excerpt from Descriptive Geometry: With Numerous Problems and Practical Applications
By having several modifications under each problem, blackboard work can be readily assigned to the members of a class in recita tion, and no two students need be given exactly the same work.
If the student is required to be prepared to make the con struction for each problem under all possible conditions, a thor ough understanding of the problem is necessary.
A large number of carefully arranged problems and some practical applications are given.
The first few problems on the point, line, and plane are fully analyzed. Then follows a list of problems left to the student for solution. In the part of the book devoted to curves and curved surfaces, more problems are analyzed and fewer are left to the student to solve without assistance.
The importance of the study of Descriptive Geometry, both for mental discipline and on account of its industrial utility, is very ably set forth in two quotations that are given at the end of the introductory chapter.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed account of descriptive geometry as a graphical method of solving geometrical problems related to three-dimensional figures. The author employs a holistic approach to describe the subject, guiding the reader through foundational principles and illuminating the utility of descriptive geometry in a range of disciplines. Throughout the book, the author explores the representation of points, lines, and planes in orthographic projections. By introducing prole planes and revolving figures into different orientations, the author provides a comprehensive framework for understanding spatial relationships and solving complex geometrical problems. The book's treatment of planes is particularly noteworthy, as the author thoroughly examines their traces, intersections, and angles to other geometrical entities. This in-depth analysis empowers the reader to manipulate and analyze planes within three-dimensional space with ease. Furthermore, this book demonstrates how descriptive geometry extends beyond theoretical principles and nds practical applications in architecture and engineering. The author provides numerous examples and exercises that illustrate the subject's relevance in the real world, equipping readers with the skills to apply descriptive geometry in their own work. Overall, this book offers an accessible and engaging introduction to descriptive geometry, providing a valuable resource for students, designers, and anyone seeking to enhance their understanding of spatial relationships and geometrical problem-solving. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
