Synopsis
Unlock the geometry of rolling curves and moving shapes.
This concise study explores roulettes and glissettes from a geometric viewpoint, using clear diagrams and original methods to reveal how curves trace their paths when one curve rolls or slides on another.
This edition expands on the classic work, presenting practical techniques for analyzing the curves generated by rolling or sliding curves. Readers will encounter a structured treatment of infinitesimals, envelopes, and a variety of examples that connect theory to visual insight, all framed for a hands-on understanding of geometry in motion.- Foundational concepts of roulettes and glissettes explained with accessible proofs
- Techniques for computing curvature and envelopes of moving curves
- Worked examples showing how curves behave under rolling and sliding actions
- Historical context and improvements that accompany the second edition
