Geometry of Spatial Forms by Peter C. Gasson

Ellis Horwood, Ltd. | 1983 | ISBN: 0853126208, 0470200111, 047020009X, 0853126526 | 561 pages | Djvu | 6,5 MB


This comprehensive text contains all important concepts

and formulae of applicable geometry necessary for a


complete understanding of the subject. Now available for

the first time in a single volume, it meets the present and

future needs of architects, engineers and designers. Clearly

and elegantly written, profusely illustrated with line dia-

grams, it may be read either with complete continuity or

piecemeal, one section at a time. A great many mathe-

matical concepts are introduced in a form which is easy to

follow for readers new to this subject. The author will

inspire and encourage those who have need to sharpen their

geometrical wits, develop their powers of visualisation, and

improve t"eir spatial comprehension.



The author fosters a better overall understanding of the

complete geometrical syllabus, and promotes its widespread

application. The book has become a standard undergraduate

treatment of the relevant geometrical aspects, and intro-

duces the reader to the broader reaches of computational

geometry for design and man.ufacture.



The remarkable success of this course text in its first year

of publication has encouraged the author and the publishers

to issue a reprint with revisions. It now possesses the added

bounty of some 200 individual problem exercises, both to

reinforce its didactic qualities and to and establish

student comprehension. The author has provided answers

to most problems, and hints (where appropriate), all

cross-referenced to the appropriate section of the text.



Readership: Engineers, designers and architects in civil, mechanical,

production and structural engineering. Aeronautical, automobile,

architectural and marine engineers. Programmers, software writers,

and all with an interest in computer-aided engineering. Lecturers

and undergraduate students of mathematics and related fields.
