Excerpt from Elements of Descriptive Geometry: With Their Application to Spherical Trigonometry, Spherical Projections, and Warped Surfaces
The study of the Mathematics, whether considered as Ia troductory to its sister science, Mechanical Philosophy, or as a salutary and invigorating exercise of the mind, is equally worthy of attention. The useful and important results to which it leads, the mutual dependence of its parts, and the concise and satisfactory reasoning in the development of Its principles, recommend this study, as well to the practical man, who learns only what he can successfully apply, as to the lover of science, who explores all its departments in search of new facts and interesting truths.

Excerpt from Elements of Descriptive Geometry: With Their Application to Spherical Trigonometry, Spherical Projections, and Warped Surfaces
This Treatise on Descriptive Geometry has been prepared for the use of the Cadets of the Military Academy. In submitting it to the public, the author prefers no claim to invention or discovery. It has been his object to furnish a useful text book; and if this end be attained, he will have no cause to regret his labours.

The subject of Descriptive Geometry, which is treated of in these Elements, has not, as yet, been considered in this country as a necessary part either of a polite or practical education. It has been taught in the Military Academy since 1817, but has not found its way into other Seminaries with a rapidity at all proportionate to its usefulness.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explains the principles of descriptive geometry, a method used to create accurate geometrical representations on a plane from various angles. It is a useful tool for those working in architecture, engineering, and other areas that require precise graphical representations. The principles and processes involved are explained in depth with references to practical applications. The author includes solutions to various problems involving lines and planes, demonstrating the use of the principles in various scenarios. These include finding the shortest distance between a point and a line, drawing a plane through three points, and measuring the angle between two lines or planes. The author's approach favours simplicity, explaining complex concepts in a straightforward manner to enhance comprehension. By presenting a clear understanding of descriptive geometry, this book serves as a valuable resource for students and practitioners seeking to improve their skills in graphical representation and 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.
