Excerpt from Plane Trigonometry and Applications
The characteristic features of this book may be summarized as follows:
1. The method of presentation is thoroughly heuristic. This enables the student to get a firm grasp of the subject by teaching him to recognize the fundamental ideas which underlie and unify the separate steps of the mathematical argument, instead of confusing him by a disconnected dogmatic statement of isolated facts.
2. The book is divided into two parts. The first part is devoted to the theoretical and numerical solution of triangles. The second part treats of the functions of the general angle, their addition theorems and other properties, together with applications to simple harmonic curves, simple harmonic and wave motion, and harmonic analysis. Part One is also published separately and is well adapted for use in secondary schools. The complete book is intended for the freshman course in colleges.
3. The discussion of the solution of triangles, in Part One, is not interrupted by any digressions about coordinate systems, addition theorems, and the like. It has been thought desirable to postpone to the second part the consideration of all of these matters, which are indeed important but unnecessary for the solution of triangles.
4. The definitions for the functions of an obtuse angle have been made to grow organically out of the needs of the problem of solving triangles, in a way which seems both simple and natural, and which at the same time illustrates an important principle of mathematical procedure.
5. The whole theory of triangles has been unified by giving a central position to the area problem. As a consequence, almost all of the necessary equations present themselves spontaneously and in a connected fashion. The law of tangents is the only one which causes any difficulty in this respect.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive and illuminating introduction to trigonometry, providing the reader with a thorough understanding of its fundamental concepts, methods, and applications. The reader will find discussions on the history and development of trigonometry along with in-depth explorations of trigonometric functions, identities, equations, and graphs. They can also explore topics such as the relationships between functions and how the choice of unit of measurement does not affect the values of trigonometric functions. Moving through the chapters, the reader will not only gain a deeper appreciation of the subject but also see how trigonometry intersects with other areas of mathematics as well as its practical applications in various fields. By the book's end, the reader will have gained a solid foundation in trigonometry, enabling them to confidently tackle more advanced topics in mathematics and its applications.
