The Elements of Logarithms: With an Explanation of the Three and Four Place Tables, of Logarithmic and Trigonometric Functions (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Elements of Logarithms: With an Explanation of the Three and Four Place Tables, of Logarithmic and Trigonometric Functions
I would further respectfully ask the attention of professors of mathematics in other colleges to the desirableness of putting into the hands of students tables of three or four places instead of the bulky volumes which even practical computers need for only the more delicate kinds of work, and especially instead of the inconvenient and poorly constructed tables often found bound up in the same covers with a work on trigonometry. This has been pointed out by several of the best authorities abroad, and is, no doubt, widely acknowledged here as well. I venture to hope, therefore, that the publication of this little treatise will induce a more general employment of the tables to which it is designed as a companion.
