Synopsis
Excerpt from Logarithmic Tables of Numbers and Trigonometrical Functions
To facilitate the interpolation, small tables of proportional parts have been added in the first and third parts. The use of smaller type has enabled us to give them completely even in the first pages for every difference. These tables give accurately the tenths of the whole difference, so that the addition of the tenths hun dredths and thousandths gives the proportional part correct to the last figure which is not the case with the usual arrangement. According to a very common arrangement the same small table of proportional parts has to be used for the whole extent of the table in its vicinity, without reference to the difference whether it be an unit more or less; but this has been rejected as inaccurate. In the third part want of space has prevented all the differences from being given; at the commencement, i. E. Beginning at'50, those only could be inserted which differed by 10 units, then those dif feting by 5, by 3 etc., while finally, from each difference is set down. The advantages which these tables afford in interpolation, will be best appreciated by those, who have felt their want in all other tables.

Logarithmic Tables of Numbers and Trigonometrical Functions (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Precise astronomical calculations are integral to the realms of both science and navigation, from analyzing cosmic phenomena to plotting courses across the globe. Traditional trigonometric tables have served as foundational tools for these demanding tasks, yet their extensive size and inherent limitations necessitate fastidious checking and multiple lengthy interpolations. This book presents an updated and enhanced set of trigonometric tables that address these limitations. The author has recalculated and verified the accuracy of the tables, extending their utility with the inclusion of proportional parts calculated to the tenth of the last decimal place, a feature notably absent from previous tables. A collaborative effort, the refinements presented in this book have been vetted by other mathematicians and astronomers, solidifying their reliability. By offering a higher degree of precision coupled with a more user-friendly format, this book stands as a significant advancement in the field of trigonometric calculations. Its impact extends to disciplines where accurate angle and distance measurements are paramount, offering a powerful tool for scientific discovery and practical applications alike. 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 # 9781527882348_0
