Synopsis
Practical geometry and mechanics made clear for students and builders. This classic introduction teaches essential ideas of shapes, measurements, and real‑world applications with straightforward explanations and plenty of practice problems. The book blends theory with useful craft skills, helping readers see how geometry fits into daily work and study.
This edition presents an elementary, practical approach to geometry, mensuration, and the basic mechanics involved in artisans’ tasks. It covers definitions, shapes, areas, and volumes, and shows how to apply these ideas to surveying, carpentry, brickwork, and related trades. It is designed for use in schools and in workshops alike, aiming to build confident, capable problem‑solvers.
- Clear foundations: definitions, angles, planes, and basic geometric figures
- Practical methods: mensuration of surfaces and solids, area and volume work
