Manual of Trigonometry (Classic Reprint): For the Use of High Schools, Academies and Colleges

Excerpt from Manual of Trigonometry: For the Use of High Schools, Academies and CollegesIn the following pages the author has endeavored to present a brief, but thorough and complete, course in Trigonometry. While non-essentials have been excluded, considerable attention has been given to some matters not discussed in any of the usual text-books. It is discouraging even to a bright student, to meet, in his work in the Integral Calculus, difficulties that should have been surmounted in his Trigonometrical course. The chapter on Algebraic Trigonometry will, it is hoped, lighten the labor of the student preparing for advanced work and broaden the views of the reader whose Trigonometry is merely a minor part of a symmetrical course of liberal study. The text, taken in connection with the exercises, (all of which should be worked out), will afford ample preparation for any University Mathematical course.The author desires to express his sense of obligation to Prof. Irving Stringham for encouraging and valuable hints and suggestions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
