Ruler And Compasses (1916)

Ruler and Compasses is a book written by Hilda Phoebe Hudson and first published in 1916. The book is a comprehensive guide to the art of geometry, with a focus on the use of ruler and compasses in creating geometric shapes and constructions. It covers a wide range of topics, from the basic principles of geometry to more advanced concepts such as the construction of regular polygons, the golden ratio, and the use of conic sections in design. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part covering the basic principles of geometry, including the definition of points, lines, and angles, and the construction of basic geometric shapes such as triangles, squares, and circles. The second part focuses on more advanced topics, such as the construction of regular polygons and the use of conic sections in design. The final part of the book provides a series of exercises and problems for readers to practice their skills and test their understanding of the material.Throughout the book, Hudson provides clear and concise explanations of the concepts and techniques involved in geometric construction, making it an ideal resource for students and teachers of mathematics, as well as anyone interested in the art of geometry. With its detailed illustrations and step-by-step instructions, Ruler and Compasses remains a classic text in the field of geometry and a valuable resource for anyone looking to master the art of geometric construction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
