Spherical Trigonometry: For the Use of Colleges and Schools; With Numerous (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Plane Trigonometry, to which it is intended as a sequel; it contains all the propositions usually included under the head of Spherical Trigonometry, together with a large collection of examples for exercise. In the course of the work reference is made to preceding writers from whom assistance has been obtained ;besides these writers I have consulted the treatises on Trigonometry by Lardner, Lefebure de Fourcy, and Snowball, and the treatise on Geometry published in the Library of Useful Knowledge. The examples have been chiefly selected from the University and College Examination Papers. In the account of Napier s Rules of Circular Parts an explanation has been given of a method of proof devised by Napier, which seems to have been overlooked by most modern writers on the subject. I have had the advantage of access to an unprinted Memoir on this point by the late R. L. Ellis of Trinity College; Mr Ellis had in fact rediscovered for himself Napier sown method. For the use of this Memoir and for some valuable references on the subject I am indebted to the Dean of Ely. Considerable labour has been bestowed on the text in order to render it comprehensive and accurate, and the examples have all been carefully verified; and thus I venture to hope that the work will be found useful by Students and Teachers. LTODHUNTER. ST JOHNS COLLEGE, August 15, 1859.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Spherical Trigonometry: For the Use of Colleges and Schools â " with Numerous Examples, is the work of Isaac Todhunter, an honorary fellow of St. John's College. At less than two hundred pages, Spherical Trigonometry a brief work by the standards of most textbooks. Todhunter has focused his book on a fairly narrow topic, and as such the subject is explored with a good deal of detail. The book begins with an introduction of great and small circles and the applicable mathematical principles. The book proceeds to explore spherical geometry, spherical triangles, geodetical operations, polyhedrons, and miscellaneous propositions, and many more. While examples are presented throughout, the book does not offer the reader with practice questions and answers, as most textbooks do. Spherical Trigonometry is a well written textbook that presents its subject matter in detail. Suitable for high school or college students, the material covered is of a moderate difficulty level, but could serve as an individual's introduction to trigonometry. The lack of practice question is somewhat of a disappointment, but the book does provide ample examples with detailed solutions. If you are in the market for a basic trigonometry textbook, Spherical Trigonometry: For the Use of Colleges and Schools â " with Numerous Examples is worthy of your consideration. Todhunter presents the subject matter concisely, and the book would be appropriate for use by either a student or a teacher. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781440067402_0
