Présentation de l'éditeur
The first edition of this work was intended chiefly as aT ext-B ook for the use of the students in theB elfast I nstitution, when the Author wasP rofessor of Matiiematics in that establishment; and it was therefore written, not as a regular and complete treatise on Trigonometry, but as an outline to be filled up, and illustrated orally in theL ectures. It was received, however, by other readers in a more favourable manner than the Author could have anticipated from its nature and form; and, in consequence of this, he has been induced, in the subsequent editions, to make various alterations, and, it is hoped, improvements.

In the present edition, also, a scholium of considerable interest will be found at the end of the third section: and the last four pages of the ninth section contain some curious propositions inS pherical Geometry, most of which the Author believes to be new. It has been everywhere the aim of the A uthor, to comprise in a smaJ lcompass much useful and interesting matter; and, whatever may be the imperfections of the work, he trusts that the person who shall make himself well acquainted with what it contains, will find it easy to acquii ea knowledge of all that is yet known inT rigonometry, and to apply it in A stronomy, and other branches of science.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
