Solid Geometry: With Problems And Applications (1919)

Solid Geometry: With Problems And Applications is a comprehensive textbook written by Herbert Ellsworth Slaught and published in 1919. The book covers the fundamental principles of solid geometry, including the properties of space, lines, planes, and angles. It also delves into the study of polyhedra, cylinders, cones, spheres, and other three-dimensional shapes. The book is divided into three parts, with each part containing several chapters. Part I covers the basic concepts of solid geometry, including the measurement of angles and distances, the properties of lines and planes, and the principles of projection. Part II focuses on the study of polyhedra, including their properties, regularity, and classification. Part III covers the study of curved surfaces, including cylinders, cones, and spheres, as well as the applications of solid geometry in engineering, physics, and other fields.Throughout the book, Slaught provides numerous examples and problems to help readers better understand the concepts and apply them in practical situations. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to students and professionals alike. It is an essential resource for anyone studying or working in the field of solid geometry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
