An Elementary Treatise On Descriptive Geometry: With A Theory Of Shadows And Of Perspective (1851)

An Elementary Treatise On Descriptive Geometry: With A Theory Of Shadows And Of Perspective is a book written by Gaspard Monge and originally published in 1851. The book is a comprehensive guide to the principles of descriptive geometry, which is the branch of mathematics concerned with the representation of three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface. It provides a detailed explanation of the theory of shadows and perspective, which are essential concepts in the field of art and architecture. The book is intended as a guide for students and professionals in the fields of engineering, architecture, and art, and it covers a wide range of topics, including the principles of projection, the construction of geometric forms, and the use of shadows and perspective in drawing and painting. The book is written in a clear and concise style and is illustrated with numerous diagrams and examples to help readers understand the concepts presented. Overall, An Elementary Treatise On Descriptive Geometry: With A Theory Of Shadows And Of Perspective is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the principles of descriptive geometry and their practical applications in art and engineering.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.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
