Excerpt from Elements of Trigonometry, Plane and Spherical: With the Principles of Perspective, and Projection of the Sphere
Every body knows how much the difeo Veries Of Baron Napier contributed to the perfection of trigonometry. By the loga rithms, the calculations of plane and (phe tical' trigonometry are performed with the greateft cafe and by the rules he'invented, the numerous cafes of fpherical trigono metry' are eafily retained in the memory. Since his time, the principal writers of trigonometry have had chiefly in view how to confirue'lz tables of logarithms in the readielt manner, and to adapt them to tri gonometry.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book details a method of calculating trigonometric quantities invented by the Scottish mathematician John Napier. Developed in the 16th century, Napier's method provided an alternative to the unwieldy techniques of earlier mathematicians and laid the basis for modern techniques. Through Napier's system, trigonometric calculations that were at the time immensely complex could be executed through simple algebraic equations. Using clear language and in-depth exploration, the author offers a thorough examination of Napier's profound discovery, its subsequent evolution, and its historical importance.
