Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Problems in Descriptive Geometry, for Class and Drawing Room: A Collection of Over 900 Definite Problems, for Students in Engineering and Technical Schools; General Problems, Special Cases, Applications, With 85 Practical Figures
This system has been tried in classes at the University' of Michigan with striking success. The notation, being extremely Simple and in strict accord with the notation of Solid Analytic Geometry and Trigonometry, is mastered by the student in one lesson. In the use of these co-ordinates for a given layout, the student must think in space and get in mind at the very outset the general location of points, lines and planes with respect to one another and the planes of projection: He is aided in seeing his problem and understanding what he is about by the very notation by which he locates given projections or traces upon the drawing sheet. For the instructor, a problem is easily read and at a glance he can select such a lay-out as he may desire.
