A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Mathematics we are presented with solutions of problems expressed in the form of equations from which some unknown quantity is to be found; and in many cases the mathematician is content to regard the equation as the complete solution of the problem without obtaining from it the actual value of the quantity sought. I f, however, the problem is a physical one, we cannot be content to leave the unknown quantity buried in an equation. Sometimes the equation is one which falls under well-known algebraic rules and admits of a solution by standard methods; but in most cases, of course, physical equations do not assume the forms discussed in treatises on Algebra and Theory of Equations. A considerable portion of this work is devoted to the discussion of such equations and the means by which they can be solved graphically. An exposition of the methods to be employed in a large number of somewhat typical cases will assist the student to invent graphic methods for himself when he meets some equation which does not come precisely under any of the forms here discussed. A little practice is all that is necessary, and it is hoped that the examples contained in this book will prove to be an adequate guide. This branch of our subject, although obviously of practical importance, is not very well known, or, so far as we are aware, systematically taught in schools or colleges. The reader will, of course, bear in mind that, as the subject of the work is Drawing, a good deal of mathematical theory is assumed as within the knowledge of the student.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
