About this Item

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.

About this title

Synopsis

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.
