Explore how curved surfaces and photogrammetry come alive for the mathematical laboratory.

This classic text presents a clear, methodical approach to descriptive geometry, showing how surfaces are generated, analyzed, and measured. You’ll see how cylinders, cones, and surfaces of revolution are handled with generating curves, directrices, and tangent planes, all tied to practical projection techniques.

In these pages you’ll follow concrete procedures for drawing tangent planes, understanding space curves, and solving key problems in photogrammetry. The book blends theory with hands‑on steps, using horizontal and vertical projections, cross‑sections, and tracing methods to build reliable spatial understanding from two views.

How to generate and analyze curved surfaces with generating curves and directrices.
Techniques for constructing tangent planes to cones, cylinders, and surfaces of revolution.
Foundations of photogrammetry, including how to determine true relative positions from two photos.
Step‑by‑step methods for projecting points, calculating heights, and interpreting station data.

Ideal for students and instructors seeking a practical, classroom‑friendly introduction to descriptive geometry and photogrammetry, with clear problems and worked examples.

Designed for use in the mathematical laboratory, this edition emphasizes actionable methods you can apply to real‑world surveying and visualizing three‑dimensional forms from planar representations.
