Publisher's Synopsis
""Geometry In Modern Life"" is a book written by John Scott Russell, originally published in 1878. The book is based on two lectures that the author gave before the Literary Society at Eton. The lectures explore the practical applications of geometry in everyday life. The book covers topics such as the measurement of land, the construction of buildings, the design of machinery, and the principles of navigation. Russell demonstrates how geometry is used in these fields and how it can be applied to solve real-world problems. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to readers of all levels. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the practical applications of geometry in modern life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
