Elements of Projective Geometry: Translated by Charles Leudesdorf
impression à la demandeVendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration into Projective Geometry, the study of geometric figures and their properties as they are affected by projection, a mathematical operation with a long and fascinating history in art and architecture. The author takes a very hands-on approach, with the first half of the book devoted to establishing and describing geometric forms common to Projective Geometry. The latter half of the book is dedicated to applying these foundational principles to diverse geometry problems, with the intent of furnishing readers with the experience and tools required to apply Projective Geometry to other realms of study, like perspective drawing or computer graphics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781440089213_0
