Synopsis

This book is a comprehensive guide to solid geometry, a branch of mathematics that studies three-dimensional shapes and their relationships. Solid geometry has a long history, dating back to the ancient Greeks, and has been used to solve problems in architecture, engineering, and other fields. The author begins by introducing the basic concepts of solid geometry, such as points, lines, planes, and angles. He then discusses more advanced topics, such as the properties of solids, the relationships between solids, and the methods for constructing solids. The book is written in a clear and concise style, and it is illustrated with many diagrams and examples. This makes it an ideal resource for students of solid geometry, as well as for anyone who wants to learn more about this fascinating subject. Solid geometry is a powerful tool that can be used to solve a wide variety of problems. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to this subject, making it an essential resource for anyone who wants to understand the three-dimensional world around them.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

During recent years the study of solid geometry has occupied a somewhat less commanding position in the mathematical curriculum than formerly. Important and essential as its subject matter is admitted to be, it has been little more than an appendage to plane geometry, both in the methods of its presentation and in its scientific results. The authors of this text feel that the subject is much more vital than such a tendency would indicate. Not only are the bare truths gained from a study of solid geometry essential to the student of science, but through its medium a multitude of mathematical ideas can be presented and elucidated in a natural and convincing manner. In fact, no subject of elementary mathematics can be compared to solid geometry as a climax and capstone of mathematical study for the student who pursues the subject no farther. It not only utilizes and applies much that he has learned in other courses, but serves as a point of vantage from which may be gained many glimpses of scientific fields which he is not to enter. In this text the authors have presented the subject in such form that a minimal course as prescribed by the colleges and the various examining boards may be covered. At the same time it affords at every turn a richness of suggestion and development for those who have the time and the inclination to do more than that minimum.
