The Essentials of Descriptive Geometry is a comprehensive guidebook written by Frederick Goodson Higbee in 1917. This book provides a detailed and practical introduction to the principles of descriptive geometry, a branch of mathematics that deals with the representation of three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface. The book begins with an overview of the basic concepts of geometry, such as lines, angles, and planes, before delving into more advanced topics such as perspective drawing, orthographic projection, and sectioning. The author also provides numerous examples and exercises to help readers master the material.Throughout the book, Higbee emphasizes the importance of accuracy and precision in geometric drawing, and provides detailed instructions on how to achieve these qualities. He also discusses the practical applications of descriptive geometry in fields such as engineering, architecture, and manufacturing.Overall, The Essentials of Descriptive Geometry is an essential resource for anyone seeking to improve their understanding of geometric principles and their applications. Its clear and concise explanations, along with its numerous illustrations and exercises, make it an excellent resource for students, professionals, and anyone interested in the field of geometry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
