Publisher's Synopsis
A Treatise On Practical Mensuration: In Ten Parts is a book written by Anthony Nesbit and published in 1859. The book is a comprehensive guide to practical mensuration, which is the branch of mathematics that deals with the measurement of geometric figures and solids. The book is divided into ten parts, each of which covers a different aspect of mensuration. The first part of the book covers the principles of measurement and the use of instruments such as rulers, protractors, and compasses. The second part covers the measurement of lines, angles, and triangles, while the third part covers the measurement of circles and ellipses. The fourth part covers the measurement of areas, including polygons and irregular figures. The fifth part covers the measurement of volumes, including prisms, cylinders, and cones. The sixth part covers the measurement of spherical surfaces and solids. The seventh part covers the measurement of heights and distances using trigonometry. The eighth part covers the measurement of land, including the use of surveying instruments. The ninth part covers the measurement of solids, including pyramids and spheres. The final part of the book covers the measurement of forces and the principles of mechanics. Overall, A Treatise On Practical Mensuration: In Ten Parts is a comprehensive guide to practical mensuration that provides a wealth of information on the measurement of geometric figures and solids.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
