Master trig for engineers and scientists, with practical tables and worked problems.
This classic text covers plane and spherical trigonometry in a clear, step-by-step style, combining theory with concrete computation methods. It includes an introduction to logarithmic and trigonometric tables to support quick, accurate calculations.
The book blends foundational definitions with practical rules for measuring lines and angles, and it guides you through solutions of spherical triangles, Gauss’s equations, and various case work. It also presents Napier’s rules, quadrant handling, and the sexagesimal system, all framed by exercises and real-world applications.
- Foundational concepts of plane and spherical trigonometry, explained in plain language
- Rules for measurement, angle arithmetic, and arc-length computation
- Detailed methods for solving spherical triangles, including multiple cases
- Three- and four-place tables of logarithms and trigonometric functions, with exercises
Ideal for students and professionals who value a historically solid reference that pairs theory with practical calculation tools. It’s suitable for readers seeking a self-contained guide to trigonometry with hands-on problems and table-based support.
