Loomis, Elias – Harper & Brothers, Publishers, 1871
This textbook commences with a brief sketch of the history of Elementary Geometry. The definitions throughout have been somewhat amplified, and several notes have been added which it is hoped may be found useful and suggestive. The subject of Ratio has been expanded; a few new propositions have been added; and there is a considerable collection of…

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…

Brewster, David – Wiley & Long and others, 1835
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.]

Swetz, Frank J.; Kao, T. I. – 1977
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…

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…
