Flint, Abel – Belknap and Hamersley, 1839
This textbook covers geometry and trigonometry with addition of a fuller explanation of rectangular surveying, as well as a more particular explanation of the use of natural sines. The book's primary goal is teaching common field surveying. This edition adds practical matter, as well as the only table of natural tangents ever published in this…

Flint, Abel, Comp. – Oliver D. Cooke, 1813
This work is chiefly a compilation from other books; and but very little new is added except a more full explanation, than has yet been published, of rectangular surveying, or the method of calculating the area of fields arithmetically, without drawing a plot of them and measuring with a scale and dividers, as has been the common practice; and…

Gibson, Robert – Joseph Crukshank, 1792
This publication, with alterations and amendments, has been adapted to the use of American surveyors. The first section discusses decimal fractions, the square root, geometrical definitions, theorems and problems, and logarithm numbers, signs, and tangents. The second section contains plane trigonometry right angled and oblique, with its…

Mathematics Teacher, 1984
To help students develop measurement skills using metric units, an activity on making a box is described, with a worksheet for students. A second article discusses graphing elementary functions with a real domain, while a third article describes computer-assisted practice in graphing sine and cosine functions. (MNS)
