Advanced Geometry.
Plane Geometry.
| Lecture I. | Areas of surfaces: Conversion of rectilineal figures to triangles of equal area, similar figures which have an area of a given proportion. |
| II. | Problems relating to areas. |
| III. | Figures in relation to figures (geometrical tracery). |
| IV. | Construction of helical and spiral curves (applied to screws, staircases, handrailing &c.) |
| V. | The ellipse and parabola, their perpendiculars and tangents (applied to arches, and their voussoirs). |
| VI. | Construction of curves from tabular data, as varying pressure, temperature, and resistance, involving the use of abscissa and ordinate; curves traced by a point in motion; cycloid, epicyloid, and trochoid curves applied to gearing; the conchoid and cissoid curves. |
Solid Geometry.
| Lecture VII. | Projection of plane solids, when inclined to both planes. |
| VIII. | Projection of curved surfaces, in either plane, |
| IX. | Sections of solids intersected by inclined planes, |
| X. | Penetration of solids (applied to groins, pendentives, pipes, boilers, &c.) |
| XI. | Development of curved surfaces; envelopes their true form (applied to metal work), |
| XII. | Projection of shadows under any conditions; isometric projection; drawings from actual measurement; method of sketching and taking dimensions. |
