Through a given point, to pass a perpendicular to a given plane, and
to construct the projections of the point of meeting of the right line
and of the plane.
Through a given point, to pass a right line perpendicular to a given
right line, and to construct the projections of the point of meeting of
the two right lines.
A plane being given, to find the angles which it forms with the
planes of projection.
Two planes being given, to construct the angle which they form
between them.
Two right lines which cut each other being given, to construct the
angle which they form between them.
To construct the angle formed by a right line and by a plane given
in position in space.
_Problems relating to tangent planes._
To draw a plane tangent to a cylindrical surface or to a conical
surface, 1º through a point taken on the surface; 2º through a point
taken out of the surface; 3º parallel to a given right line.
Through a point taken on a surface of revolution, whose meridian is
known, to pass a plane tangent to that surface.
_Problems relating to the intersection of surfaces._
To construct the section made, on the surface of a right and vertical
cylinder, by a plane perpendicular to one of the planes of
projection.--To draw the tangent to the curve of intersection.--To make
the development of the cylindrical surface, and to refer to it the curve
of intersection, and also the tangent.
To construct the intersection of a right cone by a plane perpendicular
to one of the planes of projection. Development and tangent.
To construct the right section of an oblique cylinder.--To draw the
tangent to the curve of intersection. To make the development of the
cylindrical surface, and to refer to it the curve which served as its
base, and also its tangents.
To construct the intersection of a surface of revolution by a plane,
and the tangents to the curve of intersection.--To resolve this
question, when the generating line is a right line which does not meet
the axis.
To construct the intersection of two cylindrical surfaces, and the
tangents to that curve.
To construct the intersection of two oblique cones, and the tangents
to that curve.
To construct the intersection of two surfaces of revolution whose axes
meet.
VII. OTHER REQUIREMENTS.
The preceding six heads complete the outline of the elementary course of
mathematical instruction which it was the object of this article to
present; but a few more lines may well be given to a mere enumeration of
the other requirements for admission to the school.
MECHANICS comes next. The programme is arranged under these heads:
Simple motion and compound motion; Inertia; Forces applied to a free
material point; Work of forces applied to a movable point; Forces
applied to a solid body; Machines.
