This object group only samples the devices relating to plane trigonometry in the Smithsonian collections. Separate object groups discuss spherical trigonometry, mathematical tables, sectors, slide ...
THIS is, in general, quite a well-written book, though, in some respects, on old lines. It covers elementary trigonometry to the logarithmic solution of triangles, and makes a good beginning by ...
TODHUNTER's “Trigonometry” is a very familiar friend of ours, and we have now before us a bundle of letters which we received from the author in 1861 and 1862, in reply to our criticisms and ...
