Summary
Descriptive geometry is a practical discipline which tries to improve development of space and creative abalities
and logical thinking.
First it shows commonly used types of projection methods.
At the socond part the geometric characteristics of relevant curves and surfaces folows.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
• to train development of space abilities
• to handle by different types of projection methods, to understand to their principles, to be familiar with their
properties, advantages and disadvantages
• to acquaint with geometric characteristics of curves and surfaces that are used in technical practice of a given
specialization
Course Contents
The program of lectures

1. Parallel projection, coordinate system. Projection with dimensions – basic units view, slope, intersection of
two planes, rotation of a plane.
2. Monge projection - basic units view, positional and metric problems.
3. Orthogonal axonometry - basic units view, the notch method.
4. Oblique projection - basic units view, military and cavalier perspective. Improper objects. Basic concepts of
central projection.
5. Linear perspective - basic concepts, bound methods.
6. Curves - a general introduction. Circle, ellipse.
7. Another conics. Helix.
8. Surfaces. Surface of revolution, rotational quadrics.
9. Screw surfaces - ruled, cyclical.
10. Ruled surfaces. Developable ruled surfaces. Skew surfaces, skew quadrics.
11. Conoids, conusoids and other skew surfaces.
12. Transition, wedge surfaces and other surfaces of building practices.
13. Cuts, surface intersections, the vault - samples of specific examples.
14. Reserve
