Download or read book Descriptive Geometry The Spread of a Polytechnic Art written by Évelyne Barbin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-01 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to explore the history of descriptive geometry in relation to its circulation in the 19th century, which had been favoured by the transfers of the model of the École Polytechnique to other countries. The book also covers the diffusion of its teaching from higher instruction to technical and secondary teaching. In relation to that, there is analysis of the role of the institution – similar but definitely not identical in the different countries – in the field under consideration. The book contains chapters focused on different countries, areas, and institutions, written by specialists of the history of the field. Insights on descriptive geometry are provided in the context of the mathematical aspect, the aspect of teaching in particular to non-mathematicians, and the institutions themselves.

CHAPTER IV ON THE THEORIES OF SHADOWS AND PERSPECTIVE. THEORY OF SHADOWS. 90. It has been stated, that descriptive geometry must be regarded under two points of view. Under the first, it is to be considered as a means of researches for arriving with precision at certain desired results; and it is thus that it is employed in stone cutting and carpentry. Under the second, it is simply a means of representing objects, and, in this case the determination of shadows is an auxiliary advantage to it. Persons conversant with the methods of this science, are aware that a single projection does not suffice to define an object; that two projections are necessary; because on a plane one of the dimensions is always wanting, but, by means of two projections, the three dimensions are determined. In examining then the description of an object completely given by means of its two projections, the horizontal projection must be compared with the vertical projection; and it is from this perpetual comparison that the knowledge of the form of the proposed object is deduced. Although the method of projections is simple, and possesses a peculiar kind of elegance, yet this obligation of comparing incessantly two projections one with the other, is a trouble, which can be considerably diminished by the employment of shadows Suppose, for instance, that we have a horizontal projection, containing all the dimensions in length and breadth, but which determines nothing respecting the dimensions in height; if the bodies be considered to be illumined in a known manner (and it is convenient to adopt, in general, the manner the most natural, that with which we are most familiar) for example, by parallel rays of light, these bodies will be throwing shadows on one another, ..

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Elementary Treatise on Descriptive Geometry, With a Theory of Shadows and of Perspective: Extracted From the French of G. Monge; To Which Is Added, a Description of the Principles and Practice of Isometrical Projection; The Whole Being Intended as an Introduction to the Application of Descriptive Geometry to Various Branches of the Arts Having been solicited by the Publisher of the Rudimentary Treatises to supply a series of works upon the application of Descriptive Geometry to various branches of the useful arts, it has been deemed advisable to precede them by a treatise on the Elements of Descriptive Geometry itself. This appeared the more necessary from the poverty of our scientific literature in works upon this elegant branch of study, which, from its many and important practical applications, appears to demand a far more prominent place in a system of elementary education than has hitherto been accorded to it in this country. To supply this want we have had recourse to the original work of G. Monge both because, having been the first to reduce it to a system, he must be regarded as the inventor of the art, and because that work was originally intended to occupy the very position here given to it as a prelude to a! series of works upon the application of Descriptive Geometry to the useful arts. A considerable portion of Monge's work does, however, avowedly go beyond this purpose, and, being limited in the extent and price of these treatises, this portion has been altogether omitted.

Download or read book Yvain written by Chretien de Troyes and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1987-09-10 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes is a major figure in European literature. His courtly romances fathered the Arthurian tradition and influenced countless other poets in England as well as on the continent. Yet because of the difficulty of capturing his swift-moving style in translation, English-speaking audiences are largely unfamiliar with the pleasures of reading his poems. Now, for the first time, an experienced translator of medieval verse who is himself a poet provides a translation of Chrétien’s major poem, Yvain, in verse that fully and satisfyingly captures the movement, the sense, and the spirit of the Old French original. Yvain is a courtly romance with a moral tenor; it is ironic and sometimes bawdy; the poetry is crisp and vivid. In addition, the psychological and the socio-historical perceptions of the poem are of profound literary and historical importance, for it evokes the emotions and the values of a flourishing, vibrant medieval past.

Download or read book Handbook on the History of Mathematics Education written by Alexander Karp and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-01-25 with total page 627 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive International Handbook on the History of Mathematics Education, covering a wide spectrum of epochs and civilizations, countries and cultures. Until now, much of the research into the rich and varied history of mathematics education has remained inaccessible to the vast majority of scholars, not least because it has been written in the language, and for readers, of an individual country. And yet a historical overview, however brief, has become an indispensable element of nearly every dissertation and scholarly article. This handbook provides, for the first time, a comprehensive and systematic aid for researchers around the world in finding the information they need about historical developments in mathematics education, not only in their own countries, but globally as well. Although written primarily for mathematics educators, this handbook will also be of interest to researchers of the history of education in general, as well as specialists in cultural and even social history.
