604 Descriptive Geometry. [Thornton.]
Lectures 11-12, Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
The required preparation is given by the Freshman Drawing
courses. The fundamental problems on the point, line, and plane
are carefully studied, with applications to the construction of shadows
on polyhedra and to the graphical statics of force systems in
three dimensions. The projections, tangencies, sections, and intersections
of curved surfaces are then taken up, with applications
to the determination of shades and shadows on such surfaces. The
course concludes with an elementary theory of linear prospective.
[Required, Winter, in Courses I, II, III, IV, V (2).]
