Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a thorough exploration of numerical calculations using logarithms. These logarithmic tables were the central tool in scientific and mathematical calculations and are still widely used to find quick and accurate approximations when a calculator isn't available. The author covers a wide range of topics, including exponents, trigonometric functions, logarithms of numbers, and natural sines. Throughout, the book demonstrates how to use logarithmic tables to solve a variety of problems in astronomy, navigation, and other fields. By grounding the reader in the historical and mathematical context that gave rise to logarithmic tables, this book not only offers valuable insights into the history of calculation but also equips readers with a valuable tool for practical use. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
