Theoretical and Practical Graphics: An Educational Course on the Theory and Practical Applications of Descriptive Geometry and Mechanical Drawing; ... Engineering or Architecture (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Learn the theory and practical art of descriptive geometry and mechanical drawing in a single, student-friendly course.
This book blends foundational math with hands-on drafting techniques, helping readers understand how to turn ideas into precise, workable drawings.
Designed for students in science, engineering, and architecture, it covers both the ideas behind graphical methods and the tools used in real offices today. You’ll find guidance on free-hand sketching, projection, and the preparation of working drawings, with examples that connect theory to practical drafting work.
- Projects that unite theory and practice, including working drawings and standard drawing conventions
- In-depth discussion of projection methods, including Third Angle and First Angle approaches
- Topics like tangent lines, trochoidal curves, conicoids, relief perspective, and developable surfaces
- Clear instructions on equipment use, shading, dimensioning, and annotation for engineering drawings
Ideal for readers pursuing engineering, architecture, or general science, who want a solid foundation in graphical techniques and their applications.

Theoretical and Practical Graphics (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the history and development of graphics, focusing on the various sciences that use exact delineation on paper to express relations. It's an extensive survey of the field, covering topics from the basic principles of graphic science to the history and differentiation of the graphical sciences and arts in which they are applied. The author, an experienced expert in the field, explains not only the mathematical properties of the hyperbolic paraboloid and how to make drawings for a bridge portal of that form, but also delves into topics as unusual in an elementary treatise as the conchoidal hyperboloid of Catalan. Through both broad and comprehensive surveys of fields like relief perspective to detailed instructions on technical freehand sketching, dimensioning, lettering, note-taking, and illustrating, this book presents graphics as a fundamental science of construction arts that has influenced everything from engineering to architecture. 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. Seller Inventory # 9781330196359_0
