Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is both a compendium of practical geometry and a treatise on the profound discoveries made by 17th-century mathematician Pierre HÃ rigone, whose method of geometric proportions can be applied to an almost infinite variety of situations relating to geometry and measurement. Rather than relying on classical trigonometry and arithmetic, HÃ rigone devised a system that empowers artisans, architects, and engineers to calculate figures with exceptional accuracy using an innovative device of their own construction: the proportional compass. Expanding upon HÃ rigone's initial discoveries, this book offers an accessible guide to using and understanding this device for solving problems that involve both theoretical and practical applications, such as designing fortifications and reducing maps. Even those with limited mathematical proficiency can employ the proportional compass to derive sophisticated measurements. With its clear organization, engaging explanations, and diversified collection of sample problems, this book is a valuable tool for students of geometry and practitioners in the field. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
