Synopsis

Master the essentials of plane trigonometry and practical calculation with this classic text. This edition introduces logarithms and the Briggs system, then dives into sines, tangents, secants, and the solutions of right and oblique triangles. It applies theory to real tasks, like measuring heights, distances, and even gauging casks.

This practical guide blends fundamental concepts with hands‑on methods. Readers explore how to use trigonometric tables, how to perform calculations by log tables, and how to apply geometric reasoning to everyday problems. The book also covers construction techniques and the description and use of measuring tools such as Gunter’s scale.


  • Foundational explanations of logarithms and their use in calculation

  • Step‑by‑step methods for solving right and oblique triangles

  • Guidance on trigonometric analysis and practical mensuration applications

  • Real‑world problems, including gauging volumes of casks and related measurements



Ideal for students and professionals seeking a solid, historically grounded introduction to plane trigonometry and its practical uses.
