Synopsis

Master the basics of statistical tables and biological variation.

This edition explains how to read and use the standard tables that support key calculations in statistics, biology, and related fields. It walks readers through practical steps for converting degrees, minutes, and seconds into logarithmic values and back again, with clear examples.

The material focuses on how to work with logarithmic tables, how to apply corrections for small angle changes, and how to interpolate between table entries. It includes explicit procedures for finding the arc corresponding to a given logarithm and for computing log sines, cosines, tangents, and cotangents. The explanations are grounded in concrete, step-by-step instructions designed for real-world use.

• How to read left- and right-hand page entries and observe headings for accurate data access
• How to compute log values for common trigonometric functions and apply necessary corrections
• How to interpolate between table values to refine results for precise angles
• Practical examples illustrating everyday calculations in statistics and biology

Ideal for readers of early statistical methods, laboratory scientists, and students needing a solid reference for using standard mathematical tables.
