Synopsis
See how geometry turns work into craftable expertise.
This edition presents Charles Dupin’s lectures on applying geometry to the useful and fine arts, adapted for English readers by George Birkbeck. It blends scientific insight with practical craft, showing how math informs design, manufacture, and everyday labour.
It offers a clear, historical look at how geometry has been used to improve schools, workshops, and tools. The book walks through concrete examples—from flattening cylinders and rollers to printing presses and descriptive geometry—demonstrating how mathematical ideas translate into real-world technique.- Practical steps for solving design and production problems with geometric reasoning.
- Descriptive geometry, projection, and the shape of curves as they appear in engineering and the arts.
- Historical context on the spread of science-based education to workers and artisans.
- Accessible explanations of devices and processes, including printing and material shaping.
