Synopsis
Excerpt from Elements of Plane and Spherical Trigonometry<br/><br/>What, however, has been so successfully effected in other departments of mathematics has not yet been attempted with re d to Trigonometry. We have some excellent war on this subject, whose value it would ill become me to depreciate. But such of them us go extensively into the business of Trigonometry and its applications are too large and expensive for general circulation; while others, being confined almost en tirely to the elements, exclusive of the applications, must of necessity be restricted, both in point of circu lation and utility. There is one treatise, that of Emerson, which is a most copious store-house of curious and ele gant theorems: but they are so obscured by a defective notation, that the perusal of greater part of the book must, to a mathematical student, he as perplexing as the solution of a perpetual string of enigmss. It has been my aim to steer into a middle course, between that in which is resented a mere common place book of principles a theorems, and that which.

Elements of Plane and Spherical Trigonometry (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book thoroughly examines and explains the fundamentals of spherical trigonometry from an analytical standpoint. The author begins with the requisite background knowledge of plane trigonometry before delving into the intricacies of a spherical triangle as defined by the intersections of three great circles on a sphere, discussing in-depth the interdependency between its six elements â" three sides and their opposite angles. Traversing a comprehensive range of topics, the book provides an advanced treatment of spherical trigonometry, delving into Napier's circular parts, discussing orthogonal and stereographic projections, and thoroughly exploring various applications such as time-keeping, dialling, and astronomical observations. This book offers a wealth of insight and guidance to those seeking a deeper grasp of spherical trigonometry and its applications across different disciplines, making it an invaluable resource for students and professionals alike. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
