Excerpt from Graphical and Tabular Methods in Crystallography as the Foundation of a New System of Practice: With a Multiple Tangent Table and A 5-Figure Table of Natural Cotangents
The advantages of graphical methods over numerical calculations are numerous, and are fully appreciated by engineers and others who deal extensively with measure ments and practical results derived therefrom. In the majority of cases, numerical calculations are laborious, while graphical solutions appeal to one like pictures which, to a certain extent, tell their own story.'

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a collection of exact graphical methods developed by the author as both time-saving and accurate alternatives to numerical calculations in crystallography. Graphical methods in crystallography have the advantage of being easier to carry out and requiring less specialised knowledge, but have historically been neglected in favour of numerical methods. The author argues that this neglect is unwarranted and presents a compelling case for their use. The methods are presented in a systematic fashion, starting with elementary stereographic projections and progressing to more advanced topics such as the construction of crystal drawings. The book also includes a section on the use of tables to facilitate graphical determinations, and a discussion of the relative merits of graphical and numerical methods. The book is a valuable resource for crystallographers of all levels, from students to experienced researchers, and is an essential addition to any crystallographer's library. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
