Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Logarithmic And Other Mathematical Tables: With Examples Of Their Use And Hints On The Art Of Computation (1882) is a comprehensive guide to mathematical tables and their applications. Written by Simon Newcomb, a prominent American astronomer and mathematician of the 19th century, the book provides a detailed introduction to logarithmic tables, trigonometric functions, and other mathematical tools that were commonly used in scientific and engineering calculations of the time.The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different type of mathematical table. The first section provides an overview of logarithmic tables, including their history and development, as well as instructions on how to use them for various calculations. The subsequent sections cover trigonometric tables, tables of squares, cubes, and roots, and tables of natural and hyperbolic functions.Throughout the book, Newcomb provides numerous examples of how these tables can be used to solve various mathematical problems, such as finding the value of an unknown angle or calculating the area of a triangle. He also offers hints and tips on how to perform calculations more efficiently, such as using interpolation to find values between table entries.Overall, Logarithmic And Other Mathematical Tables: With Examples Of Their Use And Hints On The Art Of Computation (1882) is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of mathematics or the practical applications of mathematical tables. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of mathematical computation in the 19th century and offers insights that are still relevant to modern-day mathematicians and scientists.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
