The Elements of Descriptive Geometry, Shadows and Perspective: With a Brief Treatment of Trihedrals, Transversals, and Spherical, Axonometric and Oblique Projects (1877)

""The Elements of Descriptive Geometry, Shadows and Perspective"" is a comprehensive guide to the principles and techniques of descriptive geometry, a branch of mathematics concerned with the visualization of three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface. Written by Samuel Edward Warren and first published in 1877, this book covers a range of topics including trihedrals, transversals, and spherical, axonometric, and oblique projects. The author provides clear explanations and numerous examples to help readers understand the concepts and apply them to practical problems. The book also includes a section on shadows and perspective, which explores the ways in which light and shadow can be used to create the illusion of depth and distance in drawings and paintings. Overall, ""The Elements of Descriptive Geometry, Shadows and Perspective"" is an essential resource for anyone interested in the art and science of visual representation.For Colleges And Scientific Schools.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
