Synopsis

Master solid geometry with clear explanations, practical examples, and step-by-step solutions.

This classic text guides readers through the fundamentals of solids, including cones, cylinders, pyramids, spheres, and more. It presents detailed explanations, worked examples, and numerous exercises with full answers, helping you build a solid understanding of volume, surface area, and the relationships between shapes in space.



Designed for self-study or classroom use, the book emphasizes concepts you can apply to real problems in engineering, architecture, and design. It uses diagrams and progressive examples to develop intuition for three-dimensional geometry.




  • Thorough coverage of volumes, surfaces, and cross-sections of common solids

  • Numerical examples, exercises, and complete answers for practice and review

  • Topics such as spheres, cones, pyramids, cylinders, and the solid angle, with clear proofs

  • Accessible, step-by-step explanations suitable for self-learners and students



Ideal for readers of geometry who want a solid foundation and plenty of practice problems.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Originally published in 1911, this practical textbook of exercises was primarily aimed at school students and was intended to provide an accessible yet challenging 'informal course' on solid geometry for classwork, homework and revision. The book is divided into three principal sections: chapters 1-6 discuss the main properties of lines and planes, chapters 7-13 examine properties of the principal solid figures, including mensuration, whilst chapters 14-16 consider coordinates in three dimensions, plan, elevation and perspective, also known as descriptive geometry. The book covers key theorems, whilst cataloguing useful geometry questions focused on developing a broad understanding of the subject. Intended as educational rather than technical material and a practical, systematic supplement to school lessons, this book will be of great value to scholars of mathematics as well as to anyone with an interest in the history of education.
