Year, Semester: 2nd year, 1st semester
Its prerequisite(s): -
Further courses are built on it: Yes/No

Topics:

Descriptive geometry is a branch of geometry in which the three-dimensional figures (spatial objects) are represented on a plane using one of projecting methods and we must solve some geometrical problems of them in the image plane. The consisting positions, intersecting positions, metrical problems will be investigated.

Introduction to the Monge’s method of projecting, projection of the space-elements. Points and lines in the plane. Intersection of a line with the plane. Intersection of two planes. Method of the replacing image-planes (transformation of views). Metric tasks. New views of a polyhedron (using transformation). Intersection of the polyhedrons with lines and planes. Intersection of two polyhedrons. Curved surfaces
