Synopsis

Plane Trigonometry offers a clear path from basic sines to ready-to-use problem solving.

Planes and tables come alive in a two-volume work designed for academies and private tuition, authored by Charles Hutton, LL.D., F.R.S., and professor of mathematics. This fifth edition is enlarged and corrected, with detailed demonstrations and practical methods that build from first principles to real calculations. The book guides readers through multiple ways to resolve triangles, use logarithms, and apply trigonometric ideas to a broad set of problems.

The text emphasizes practical understanding:

• Learn how sines, cosines, tangents, and other trig ratios relate to triangle sides and angles.
• Explore geometrical construction, arithmetical computation, and instrumental methods for solving problems.
• Follow step-by-step examples that illustrate both theory and technique.
• See how logarithms and tables support quick, accurate computations.

Ideal for students beginning plane trigonometry and for educators seeking a structured, example-rich reference.
