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 perspective.
[Required, Winter, in Courses I, II, III, IV, V (2).]
