Along with problems and typical solutions the book gives brief theoretical information, which is particularly valuable for students working without the guidance of a teacher. Khristofor Artemyevich Arustamov, Professor at the Bauman Higher Technical School in Moscow, has been heading the chair of descriptive geometry and drawing for over forty years. He has written a number of manuals on solving problems in descriptive geometry.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Descriptive Geometry = technical drawing techniques,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Problems in Descriptive Geometry (Paperback)
I didn't know what "descriptive geometry" was, the subject of this book: I mistook it for something else. Well, what it is is a series of techniques for creating accurate technical drawings of 3D objects, and being able to derive measurements off of them. It is not a synonym, in this case, for synthetic geometry (although the term "descriptive geometry" sometimes used to be used for synthetic geometry). (For a better description see wikipedia.)Anyway, this is definitely a problem book. There are 344 examples with solutions, and 635 problems without solutions. There are more than 1100 figures illustrating the examples and problems. I'm pretty sure this book was meant to accompany a lecture course where the instructor would assign problems by number - there are only a very few explanations of the subject in this book, to try to learn "descriptive geometry" from this book would probably be pretty frustrating. I give this book 4 stars because, on browsing it, it certainly seems to cover what you'd want a problem book in descriptive geometry to cover. But before buying this book I thought you should know: what the "descriptive geometry" in it is and isn't, and that it is definitely a problem book, not a textbook.
