Lecture

Descriptive Geometry: Cones and Cylinders

Description

This lecture covers the concept of tangent planes on cones and cylinders, explaining how the tangent plane at a point on the surface contains the tangents to any curve passing through that point. It also discusses tangent planes from an external point, contours apparent on surfaces, and shadows cast by surfaces in different lighting conditions.
