604. Descriptive Geometry. [Thornton.]
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.
