Synopsis

The book ""Constructive Geometry Of Plane Curves: With Numerous Examples"" by T. H. Eagles is a comprehensive guide to the study of plane curves in geometry. The book covers a wide range of topics related to the construction of geometric figures, including the use of straightedge and compass, the construction of curves such as ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas, and the calculation of tangents and normals to curves. The author provides numerous examples throughout the book to help readers understand the concepts and techniques involved in constructing plane curves. The book is written in clear and concise language, making it accessible to both students and professionals in the field of geometry. Overall, ""Constructive Geometry Of Plane Curves: With Numerous Examples"" is an essential resource for anyone interested in the study of plane curves and their construction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The appearance of another text-book on Geometry may perhaps be considered to demand an apology, but I venture to hope that an examination of the following pages will shew them to differ considerably from any existing treatise. The extending use of graphic methods in the solution of many practical engineering problems has appeared to me to demand a corresponding extension in the practice of drawing the curves on which such solutions may frequently depend, and, though the properties of conic sections have been discussed thoroughly both geometrically and analytically, there is so far as I am aware no book treating of the actual delineation of the curves from given data to anything like the extent here attempted. Independently however of their applied use, the problems generally will, I think, be found useful merely as drawing exercises in science and other schools. A great deal of attention is devoted to the construction of regular polygons, circles packed into another circle and similar fancy figures, by methods which no practical draughtsman ever uses, while the construction of an ellipse is at the most limited to drawing it from the principal axes or from a pair of conjugate diameters; and the time spent on these and similar exercises might, I think, E.
