Synopsis
Master plane trigonometry with practical, applied techniques you can use now.
Designed to show the immediate usefulness of trigonometry, this book minimizes pure theory and emphasizes the solution of triangles and real‑world problems. It guides learners from definitions and measurements to concrete methods for solving triangles, using clear steps and abundant illustrative material. The edition supports both secondary schools and colleges, with approachable explanations, worked examples, and practical applications like projections, force composition, and angular speed.
Key features include a strong focus on the problem‑driven approach, extensive tables, and guidance on tools such as the slide rule and four‑ or five‑place tables. The text also highlights systematic methods for oblique triangles and introduces trigonometric functions for any angle, plus the addition and half‑angle formulas, with a careful balance of theory and practice.
- Emphasis on solving triangles quickly and reliably with clear procedures
- Practical applications across engineering, surveying, and physics
- Extensive tables and guidance on using simple instruments for computation
- Step‑by‑step worked examples to build confidence in methods
Ideal for readers seeking a solid, usable foundation in trigonometry and its real‑world applications.

Elements of Plane Trigonometry (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a rigorous foundation in plane trigonometry. It introduces the subject in a practical and engaging manner, providing numerous illustrations and graphical solutions to practical problems. The author takes a problem-based approach to trigonometry, introducing concepts through real-world examples and encouraging students to make preliminary estimates and check their answers with multiple methods. Many examples and exercises are given throughout, including applications in surveying, navigation, astronomy, architecture, engineering, and other fields. The book begins with a review of the basics of geometry, followed by an introduction to the trigonometric ratios and their definitions. It then covers the solution of right triangles using both graphical and analytical methods, and introduces the addition formulas for sine and cosine. The Pythagorean relations are derived and used to develop other trigonometric identities. The book also includes a chapter on logarithmic solutions of right triangles, and a chapter on the solution of oblique triangles. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330153413_0
