A rigorous guide to describing three‑dimensional forms on paper using general, sound methods. It emphasizes broad principles over single problem types.
Descriptive geometry from a mathematical standpoint helps you understand how points, lines, and planes project into views, and how to reconstruct space from those projections. The text discusses concepts like the cone, traces, and plane sections, and it shows how to apply these ideas to a wide range of problems, not just one kind of shape.
The book also covers how surfaces are generated and classified, including single and warped surfaces, and it explains how to develop curved surfaces for practical drawing and design work. With worked examples and exercises, it guides you from basic constructions to more advanced topics like hyperbolic paraboloids and surfaces of revolution.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a systematic approach to descriptive geometry through an exploration of its fundamental principles and their application to the making of working drawings. It departs from the common practice of subordinating theory to immediate practical uses, instead offering a sound theoretical treatment, rooted in geometry, of the subject. The approach is designed to equip students with the ability to solve problems and fulfill technical education requirements. The book begins with the most basic concepts and progresses to advanced topics, providing a solid foundation for further study in the field. The author has drawn upon the works of renowned experts in the field, such as Church and McCord, while also incorporating valuable insights from their own teaching experience. This book is an essential resource for students of descriptive geometry, providing a comprehensive and theoretically sound treatment of the subject. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
