This book provides a collection of example problems and solutions in plane and solid geometry, ranging from the simple to situations with which engineers are most familiar. The approach is practical, and the language throughout is instructive and easy to understand. It is assumed that the reader possesses a non-technical knowledge of mathematics and is able to use logarithms. The topics covered include plane and solid figures, logarithms, and useful constants. The use of trigonometrical ratios is explained with the aid of a diagram, and there is a chapter on transformation of formulae.
