600. Practical Geometry. [Thornton.]
Fundamental problems of plane geometry with applications to the
mensuration of rectilinear and curvilinear figures; conic sections and the
methods of constructing these curves; the orthographic projection of polyhedra
and of the three round bodies in erect and oblique positions; sections
of curved surfaces by planes and intersections; the mensuration of solids
and Simpson's rule; the graphical solution of equations; and the theory and
use of the Polar Planimeter. (Fall.)
