Excerpt from The Essentials of Trigonometry, Plane and Spherical: With Three and Four Place Logarithmic and Trigonometric Tables
The general scope of the present work is sufficiently indi bated by its title. A great number of simple exercises have been given, and four-place tables have been added to the book. These tables are all required for those Who do not desire to become expert in computation; those who do should use five-place tables.
The chapter on Surveying has been prepared by Dr. J. Morrison.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Embark on a journey into the world of angles and triangles with this comprehensive exploration of trigonometry. Delving into both plane and spherical trigonometry, the author meticulously guides readers through the fundamental principles, calculations, and practical applications of this essential mathematical field. Emerging from the realm of geometry, trigonometry employs algebraic methods to unravel the intricate relationships between lines and angles. This book serves as a bridge between these two domains, equipping readers with the tools to measure and analyze geometric figures with precision. From the sexagesimal system to the radian, the author elucidates various units of angular measurement, enabling a deeper understanding of angles and their properties. With a focus on right triangles, the author unveils the six trigonometric functionsââ âsine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecantââ âand their interplay in solving trigonometric problems. The book meticulously explores the connections between these functions, empowering readers to navigate the complexities of triangles and their applications. Venturing beyond right triangles, the exploration extends to the realm of general triangles, encompassing diverse cases and scenarios encountered in practical settings. By demystifying the principles of trigonometry, this book offers readers a profound understanding of its significance in various fields, from surveying and engineering to astronomy and physics. It stands as a testament to the power of mathematics to illuminate the world around us, revealing the hidden connections and elegant relationships that govern the geometry of our universe. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
