Synopsis

Master a classic math reference with practical, step-by-step table rules you can use today.

This edition compiles Wells’s Four-Place Logarithmic Tables with a companion table of natural sines, cosines, tangents, and cotangents. It shows how to read mantissas, apply tabular differences, and perform common logarithmic corrections for numbers and figures. The book explains use cases for both the base-10 logarithms and the trigonometric functions, making it a convenient reference for students and professionals who work with early computational methods.

• Learn how to extract logarithms for numbers from 100 to 1000 and beyond, with practical worked examples.
• Use the sine, cosine, tangent, and cotangent tables for angles from 0° to 90°, including minutes and seconds.
• Understand rules for adjusting mantissas, characteristics, and corrections when reading from the tables.
• Follow notes and steps that clarify approximations and how to handle small angle differences in calculations.

Ideal for readers of historical mathematics, mechanical computation, or anyone curious about how logarithms and trigonometric tables were used before modern calculators.
