This textbook covers geometry and trigonometry and presents problems for student consideration. Geometry principles are applied to surface and solid measurement. Tables of logarithms and logarithmic sines are included. [This book was translated from the French of A. M. Legendre. It was revised and abridged by Charles Davies.]

This book is primarily a scholarly monograph on ancient Chinese theory and application concerning the right triangle, based on evidence contained in classical mathematics texts and scrolls. It is also the first complete English translation of the ninth chapter of the Chiu chang suan chu, the richest source of problems from antiquity dealing with…

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…
