Synopsis

Solid Geometry Made Clear offers step-by-step explanations and plenty of practice for volumes and surfaces.

This book helps you learn by guiding you through explanations, worked examples, and complete answers, making it easier to master solid geometry.

Structured for clarity, the edition frames the main ideas of solids, surfaces, and spatial relationships with concrete problems and progressive practice. You’ll find material that builds from basic shapes to more complex figures, including discussions of spheres, cylinders, pyramids, and angles in space. The approach emphasizes understanding over memorization, helping you apply concepts to new problems.

  • Clear, step-by-step explanations for calculating volumes and surface areas of common solids.
  • Worked examples with complete solutions to reinforce learning and check work.
  • Practice problems and exercises that cover a range of shapes and configurations.
  • Topics that extend into related ideas like spherical geometry, solid angles, and spatial relationships.

Ideal for readers seeking a solid foundation in three-dimensional geometry and practical problem-solving skills.

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.
