Synopsis

Plane Trigonometry, Vol. 1: With the Use of Logarithms helps readers learn plane trigonometry with clear, practical methods.

This edition introduces how lines and angles are represented for algebraic reasoning. It explains how to assign positive and negative values to directions and how to handle results that depend on which side of a line the angle is drawn. You’ll see how these sign rules keep answers valid across different cases, and how they align with geometric reasoning. The book also covers key trigonometric ratios and how to work with them using algebraic signs, setting you up for solving a wide range of problems.

  • Understand how to model lines and angles with algebraic symbols and signs.
  • Learn the rules for positive and negative directions and how they affect your results.
  • See how to derive and use the basic trigonometric ratios with confidence.
  • Explore practical applications, including horizon dip and distance calculations, using the ratios and tables.
Ideal for readers of mathematics and engineering who want a solid, methods-focused foundation in plane trigonometry and its use of logarithms.
