Descriptive geometry is a branch of geometry that deals with the representation of three-dimensional objects in two-dimensional space. It provides techniques for accurately depicting the spatial relationships and dimensions of objects, allowing for the visualization and analysis of geometric shapes and structures. This field is particularly useful in engineering, architecture, and design, as it helps to create precise drawings and models. The principles of descriptive geometry were significantly developed by the French mathematician Gaspard Monge in the late 18th century.
