Abstract
STUDENTS will find this work to be a most instructive course, arranged in such a way that no external aid will be required. Section I. begins at the very beginning of the subject, and in it there are many problems dealing with lines, areas, use of scales, plans and elevations of solids, sections, &c. Section II. treats of descriptive geometry; and various problems on the projections of lines, oblique surfaces, and solids are given, and thoroughly worked out. The concluding chapter of this section is devoted to graphic arithmetic, in which there are both questions and examples on multiplication, division, addition, subtraction, fractions, involution, &c.
