About this title

Synopsis:

Excerpt from Elements of Plane and Spherical Trigonometry

In treatment, the endeavor has been to prepare a well graded text-book at once simple, practical, thorough, and as full in details as is consistent with the plan of the work. In deducing and exemplifying principles the author has kept steadily in view the mental training of the student, as well as his advancement in the art of trigonometric computations. Several new features will be found, notably the Trigonometric Circle (art. And the introduction of the terms opposite, adjacent, and like functions (arts. 18, 20, which it is thought will serve to crystallize the student's ideas of the functions and their relations.
