Excerpt from Descriptive Geometry: As Applied to the Drawing of Fortification and Stereotomy; For the Use of the Cadets of the U. S. Military Academy
The subjects of the following pages have been taught orally at the Military Academy for many years; but, for the saving of time, and the convenience of the pupils, it has been thought best to clothe them in a printed dress; and as, in this form, the volume might be found useful in other schools, as an appli cation of descriptive geometry to practical questions.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a simplified method of applying descriptive geometry to practical questions in military fortification drawing, making the subject more accessible to military engineers and students. The method uses horizontal projection and references to express the distances of lines and points from a plane of comparison, allowing for the depiction of three-dimensional objects and surfaces on a two-dimensional plane. The book covers topics such as determining the intersection of lines and planes, constructing elements of geometric and irregular surfaces, and solving problems related to tangent planes and secant lines. By providing a systematic approach to fortification drawing, the book helps engineers accurately and efficiently represent complex structures and terrain, enabling better planning and execution of fortification projects.
