Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Descriptive Geometry In presenting a new text-book on Descriptive Geometry, the writer is fully aware of the excellence of existing treatises, and appreciates what they have contributed toward a higher standard of technical training. The authors of these treatises, pursuing their several courses, have carried the development of the subject to a high plane. However, in spite of the indisputable excellence of many of the text-books, they seem to have failed to arouse the interest of the student, partly by ignoring the practical applications, and partly by making only a slight attempt to present the subject attractively. Some of the books are valuable only for reference and are useless in the class room; others are incomplete in the essentials; some are faddish, emphasizing certain features and treating the rest inadequately, while even the best convey to the student only a very slight idea of the practical value of the subject. This has given rise to the belief, prevailing almost universally in the student body, that Descriptive Geometry is merely a disciplinary study, having little or no relation to the life work of the individual.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Descriptive Geometry: A Treatise From a Mathematical Standpoint, Together With a Collection of Exercises and Practical Applications As an illustration of the generalized treatment throughout, attention may be called to the discussion of the cone. A common conception of a cone is that of a right circular cone, or cone of revolution. A generalized definition is given, however, to include all the surfaces which may be generated by a right line moving so as to pass through a fixed point and touch a curve. Further, it is stated that every cone is generically a right cone, and may be specifically named from the shape of a cross section so taken that a perpendicular, let fall from the fixed point or apex to the plane of the section, will pierce the latter in the center, focus, or other characteristic point, as a cusp, point of inflection, etc., etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Essentials of Descriptive Geometry IT has been the endeavor Of the author in writing this text to include only those portions Of descriptive geometry which possess industrial utility and which develop the qualities Of mind so essential in a draftsman. First and foremost descriptive geometry should aim to teach projection. A draftsman must be able both to read and to write drawings with facility, and projection is the very grammar Of the language Of the designer. Secondly, descriptive geometry should aim to develop the ability to solve problems concerning the relations Of points, lines, and planes. These are, of course, but elementary parts Of all engineering structures as shown on drawings and it is important that a draftsman be prepared to solve problems relating to them directly on the drawing board. Thirdly, and perhaps most important Of all, descriptive geometry should aim to promote the ability to analyse a problem into its component parts, to reason from a given set Of conditions to a required set Of conclusions, and to build up from the drawing a mental picture of the Object which is there represented, for Without the ability to analyse, to reason, and to Visualize a draftsman is lacking in the essential qualifications of his calling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Note-Book on Practical Solid or Descriptive Geometry: Containing Problems With Help for Solutions IN teaching a large 'class, if the method of lecturing and demonstrating from the black - board only is pursued, the l more intelligent students have generally to be kept back, from the necessity of frequent repetition, for the sake of u/ the less promising; if the plan of setting problems to each pupil is adopted, the teacher finds a difficulty in giving to each sufficient attention. A judicious combination of both methods is doubtless the best, though this is not always easy of attainment in working with numbers - the use of this book may help in accomplishing it. It is suggested that at the beginning of a chapter, and in some cases with each problem, the teacher should give a black-board explanation, carefully pointing out any fresh steps, before sending his pupils to their work. The number I of examples in each chapter to be worked out by the student is, of course, left to the teacher's judgment of the progress and requirements of his pupil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Descriptive Geometry: With Numerous Problems and Practical Applications By having several modifications under each problem, blackboard work can be readily assigned to the members of a class in recita tion, and no two students need be given exactly the same work. If the student is required to be prepared to make the con struction for each problem under all possible conditions, a thor ough understanding of the problem is necessary. A large number of carefully arranged problems and some practical applications are given. The first few problems on the point, line, and plane are fully analyzed. Then follows a list of problems left to the student for solution. In the part of the book devoted to curves and curved surfaces, more problems are analyzed and fewer are left to the student to solve without assistance. The importance of the study of Descriptive Geometry, both for mental discipline and on account of its industrial utility, is very ably set forth in two quotations that are given at the end of the introductory chapter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essentials of Descriptive Geometry It may help some instructors who contemplate using the fol lowing text-book to know how the authors have used the book in their classes. With this in View, the following general method for conducting the course is suggested and an outline of lessons given. Each instructor will, no doubt, need to alter the outline to some extent to suit the conditions under which he works. At the University of Wisconsin, descriptive geometry is given as a three credit course for one semester of eighteen weeks. Each week's work consists of one general lecture for all students in the course, one recitation, and two two-hour drafting periods for each section. One of the two-hour draft ing periods is sometimes turned into a one-hour recitation period. At the lecture, the general principles involved in the next lesson are explained, general announcements made, and prob lems assigned for a home plate which is to be handed in at the beginning of the recitation period. At the recitation, the stu dents are drilled in the analyses of the problems and then sent to the black board with some particular problem to solve.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Descriptive Geometry With Exercises In the study of Descriptive Geometry, however - with few exceptions - the first angle projection is taught. The writer, realizing that the methods taught should harmonize with the practical application in mechanical drawing as practiced, has for some time used the third angle in teaching Descriptive Geometry. There being no text books so arranged, notes were prepared for the students' use, and with such revision as four years' use in the class room would seem to indicate as desirable, these notes are now published.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Descriptive Geometry The first edition of this book, published in 1912, represented the author's views on the presentation of Descriptive Geometry, so as to arouse the student's interest in the subject without sacrificing rigorous training in the principles. In three years the text has been used in many schools, and the present, second edition, aims to embody the suggestions of many leading teachers of the subject, who have, at the request of the author and publishers, expressed their views as to this development. The main idea of the first edition, that of "practicality," has been adhered to and amplified. The most important changes are: 1. The division into more chapters. 2. A more logical sequence for certain portions of the text. 3. The notation of points and planes. 4. Graphic layouts for exercises. 5. More exercises of a practical nature, embracing more lines of engineering endeavor. 6. A number of new solutions, utilizing auxiliary planes more frequently. 7. A better system of perspective drawing. 8. A chapter on the intersections of plane solids. Although yielding to the request of several teachers for the inclusion of graphic layouts of exercises, the author still believes that dimensioned layouts are of great value despite the amount of time expended on the layout itself. With both of these, however, in practically unlimited quantity, the instructor may decide the question for himself. The layouts of both kinds have been made so flexible by interchanging and substituting data, that the number of variations is almost incalculable. This removes the objection, expressed by some teachers, to a definite and limited number of exercises, the solutions of which are sometimes preserved by student organizations. No such collection of solutions will benefit future classes, as the exercises can be made entirely different each succeeding year.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theoretical and Practical Graphics Since the pages were electrotyped an instrument of unusual convenience and merit has been placed on the market, a compass whose legs remain parallel during the process of opening, and which is therefore ready for use at all angles. Its importance justifies a reference to it here, since it cannot conveniently be incorporated under its proper heading in the text. The unity and continuity of the course here offered is not affected by the lack of consecutiveness in the chapters, its issue in present shape having been contemplated at the time of writing, although it originally appeared in the author's larger work - Theoretical and Practical Graphics - ih close correla tion with a course on the Descriptive Geometry of Monge (first Angle Method) and its applications in Shadows, Perspective, Trihedrals and Spherical Projections.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Descriptive Geometry, Vol. 1 Descriptive geometry as taught in the Massachusetts In stitute of Technology is intended to lead to the solution of the graphical problems which ordinarily arise in engineering and architecture; to train the imagination as necessary in these professions; to cultivate the sense of accuracy; and to give facility in drafting and the ability to read working drawings with ease. Consequently this book, an outgrowth of printed notes, treats the subject from the standpoint of the drafts man rather than from that of the mathematician, placing reliance on graphical methods, and omitting analytical methods. Great importance is attached to the drafting exercises which supplement, at the Institute, the use of the book; in these the student works out a set of study plates which give printed data for a large number of original problems and applications. Considerable work in the projection of solids is given in Chapter VII., since the author believes better results will be obtained if, from time to time, some of this work be combined with the study of the problems on the line and plane. It has also been thought best to give problems in all four quadrants, but the book contains a much larger number of examples in the first and third for the benefit of students in architecture and engineering.

This book was released on 2016-10-20 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Plane and Solid Geometry for Advanced Students: Including Graphic Statics; Adapted to the Requirements of the Advanced Stage of the South Kensington Syllabus The training in Practical Geometry suitable for the student of Art consists of working problems mainly in Plane Geometry and Perspective. The former because decora tive designs are largely based on geometrical figures; and the latter because an artist constantly deals with appearances. On the other hand, the student of Science finds in Practical Geometry a powerful engine of calculation, which may often with great advantage be employed in preference to analytical processes. The principal use to him of plane geometry is that it enables him to make graphical or semi-graphical computations. Descriptive geometry is of great importance since it is required in problems which involve three dimensions in space; and also because it shows how to exhibit the actual forms and dimensions of solid objects. This book is written for Science students. The necessity of accurate draughtsmanship is insisted on throughout. We describe how the drawing instruments may be set and their efficiency maintained. And the numerical answers appended to many of the examples should help to prevent any relapse into slovenly and in accurate work ou the part of those students who are apt to become lax.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shades and Shadows and Perspective: A d104-Book Based on the Principles of Descriptive Geometry The aim of this treatise is to present through a knowledge of descriptive geometry, those principles which are fundamental in the solution of both theoretical and practical problems and, by a formulation of these principles, to arrive at and thus place upon a mathematical basis those rules and formulas which are commonly used in practice. The method of presentation, which has been developed and tested during fifteen years of experience in the class room, seeks to introduce and substantiate each principle by reference to the simplest form of magnitude. For this reason no attempt has been made at either elaborate or artistic drawings, as these belong rather to the field of application.
