For one or two term courses in Descriptive Geometry in Engineering Drawing Departments.

The most widely-used descriptive geometry text — featuring a simplified organization that introduces principles in relatively short units in order of need and of difficulty. A wide variety of engineering applications, step-by-step solution illustrations, and abstract, laboratory, practical, and computer problems/projects (with solutions) highlight each chapter.

  • Presents the fundamentals of descriptive geometry in a series of small, pedagogically sound units to complement typical daily in-class sessions:

    • Uses a simplified organization that divides content into relatively short, homogeneous chapters and that follows the organization of the author's Descriptive Geometry Worksheets, Series A and B, in which new principles are introduced in order of need as well as of difficulty. Pg.___

  • Provides step-by-step solution illustrations to make the construction easy to follow, and provides solutions in pictorial form whenever possible. Pg.___
  • Focuses on applications that illuminate fundamentals and introduce new engineering experiences. Pg.___
  • Gives all quantitative information in metric units. Pg.___
  • Contains an entire chapter of condensed review material and problems — the solutions of which entail combinations of principles. Pg.___
  • Features abstract, laboratory, practical, and (when appropriate) computer problems at the end of each chapter. Pg.___

    • Contains numerous pictorial projects designed to reinforce related orthographic principles, and to help students develop their depth perception and visualization ability — which are essential to creative design. Pg.___

    • Presents problems in layout form exactly as they are to be reproduced on the drawing paper. Pg.___

    • Includes computer graphic problems and projects that use both BASIC and FORTRAN — and that may be solved on both mainframe and personal computers. Pg.___

  • Contains a completely revised set of full-size self- assessment problems/projects at the end of each chapter. Pg.___

    • Projects may be solved directly in the text. Pg.___

    • Provides carefully delineated solutions in an appendix. Pg.___

  • Adds practical problems that students must set up before finding the solutions. Pg.___

  • NEW—Contains a completely revised set of full-size self- assessment problems/projects at the end of each chapter.
    • Projects may be solved directly in the text.
    • Provides carefully delineated solutions in an appendix.
  • NEW—Adds practical problems that students must set up before finding the solutions.
