Description:Excerpt from Descriptive Geometry for Students of Engineering This book is the result of teaching descriptive geometry to students of engineering. My aim is to present the subject so as to make it most easily applicable to the requirements of recent engineering practice. The methods of presentation in this book, therefore, are not traditional. Experience has shown that most students in our best technical schools have difficulty in applying their knowledge of this subject to subsequent work in structural and machine design. Two things have been attempted in this book to overcome this failure of our students: (1) The notation is essentially the same as that used in mechanical drawing. For a long time, practical drafting and descriptive geometry have had too little in common. (2) The exercises have been carefully graded to encourage a student to do thinking for himself; and, to stimulate his interest, many concrete exercises, showing usually practical applications, have been inserted. Such exercises, I think, should be introduced from the beginning, so that the student may see the practical application of his problems as he goes along. The data for the exercises are stated by the system of coordinates used in analytic geometry. Reasons for choosing this system are obvious. For a class beginning this subject, there is a great advantage in stating the exercises with absolute definiteness. If a definite problem is not given, many students, in order to show a satisfactory solution, will waste much time selecting data; and others will present drawings that for their complication are mostly unintelligible.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
