Synopsis
Master descriptive geometry with a practical, hands?on guide The book presents a structured path through the key concepts, from straight lines and planes to curved surfaces and tangent planes, with clear rules, worked examples, and step?by?step procedures. It emphasizes usable techniques for drawing projections, solving planar and solid geometry problems, and understanding how three?dimensional forms relate to their views.
The text blends theory with practice, offering numerous problems and exercises that reinforce methods for projecting shapes, analyzing angles, and constructing accurate views. Readers will see how axonometric and isometric projections are built from fundamental principles, and how to apply these ideas to real objects such as cubes, pyramids, and complex solid figures. The coverage includes classic topics like the projection of planes, the behavior of lines, and the geometry of spheres and cones, all illustrated with diagrams and worked solutions.
- Groundwork on lines, planes, and their projections to build a solid foundation
- Techniques for isometric and axonometric drawings, including scale and axis construction
- Worked examples and problems spanning plane geometry, solids, and curved surfaces
- Step?by?step methods to determine projections, traces, and tangent planes
Ideal for students and practitioners who want clear guidance, practical methods, and ample practice with descriptive geometry concepts and drawing techniques. The edition presents traditional approaches in a logical sequence, helping readers gain confidence in visualizing and representing three?dimensional objects on two planes.

Elements of Descriptive Geometry (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 introduces and explores descriptive geometry, a practical subject that places geometry on a solid footing. It establishes foundational principles before giving their applications, recognizing that a strong grasp of first principles is essential for effective use of the subject. The author's approach involves two introductory chapters, one on straight lines and planes and another introducing descriptive geometry and solving problems on straight lines and planes. The book goes on to provide examples of the projections of plane and solid figures and discusses the solution of the spherical triangle. Trihedral angles, curved surfaces, surfaces of revolution, and intersections of curved surfaces are also addressed. Descriptive geometry's importance lies in its role as a tool to represent solid figures on a plane surface and solve solid geometry problems by reducing them to plane geometry problems. The author's focus on establishing principles before applications makes this book an effective and accessible guide for beginners, providing a solid foundation for further study in this field.
