This comprehensive text contains all important concepts
and formulae of applicable geometry necessary for a
complete understanding of the subject. Now available for
the first time in a single volume, it meets the present and
future needs of architects, engineers and designers. Clearly
and elegantly written, profusely illustrated with line dia-
grams, it may be read either with complete continuity or
piecemeal, one section at a time. A great many mathe-
matical concepts are introduced in a form which is easy to
follow for readers new to this subject. The author will
inspire and encourage those who have need to sharpen their
geometrical wits, develop their powers of visualisation, and
improve t"eir spatial comprehension.
The author fosters a better overall understanding of the
complete geometrical syllabus, and promotes its widespread
application. The book has become a standard undergraduate
treatment of the relevant geometrical aspects, and intro-
duces the reader to the broader reaches of computational
geometry for design and man.ufacture.
The remarkable success of this course text in its first year
of publication has encouraged the author and the publishers
to issue a reprint with revisions. It now possesses the added
bounty of some 200 individual problem exercises, both to
reinforce its didactic qualities and to and establish
student comprehension. The author has provided answers
to most problems, and hints (where appropriate), all
cross-referenced to the appropriate section of the text.
Readership: Engineers, designers and architects in civil, mechanical,
production and structural engineering. Aeronautical, automobile,
architectural and marine engineers. Programmers, software writers,
and all with an interest in computer-aided engineering. Lecturers
and undergraduate students of mathematics and related fields.
