About this Item

Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive collection of mathematical tables designed to facilitate accurate and efficient trigonometrical calculations. Recognizing the limitations of commonly used six-place logarithm tables, the author introduces innovative features to enhance precision and ease of use. Notably, the tables provide corrections for fifth figures in natural numbers and offer logarithmic sines and tangents to every ten seconds of the quadrant, enabling computations with remarkable accuracy. The author meticulously compared the tables with standard works, correcting numerous errors found in existing resources. This dedication to accuracy ensures the reliability of the tables for academic, scientific, and practical applications. Beyond trigonometrical functions, the book includes a traverse table offering ten times greater precision than its predecessors and a meticulously verified table of meridional parts. These valuable tools, along with a table of corrections to middle latitude, make this collection an indispensable resource for mathematicians, surveyors, navigators, and students alike. By providing accessible and precise mathematical data, this book empowers users to solve complex problems with confidence and efficiency, ultimately contributing to advancements in various fields of study and practice. 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.

About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from Tables of Logarithms of Numbers and of Sines and Tangents for Every Ten Seconds of the Quadrant: With Other Useful Tables

The Table of Corrections to Middle Latitude was computed entirely anew. The corresponding table in common use, which was originally computed by Workman, contains more than four hundred errors, sev eral of them amounting to two minutes.
