By John Newton and John Newton

Book Overview

Tabulae Mathematicae: Or Tables Of The Natural Sines, Tangents, And Secants (1671) is a mathematical book written by John Newton. The book contains a comprehensive collection of tables that provide the values of natural sines, tangents, and secants for various angles. These tables were used by mathematicians and astronomers during the 17th century to perform calculations related to astronomy, navigation, and surveying. The book is divided into three parts, each of which contains tables for the natural sines, tangents, and secants of angles ranging from 0 to 90 degrees. The tables are presented in a clear and concise manner, making them easy to use for calculations. In addition to the tables, the book contains a preface by Newton, in which he explains the importance of accurate mathematical calculations in astronomy and navigation. He also discusses the history of mathematical tables and their use in various fields. Tabulae Mathematicae: Or Tables Of The Natural Sines, Tangents, And Secants (1671) is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of mathematics and its practical applications. It provides insight into the methods and tools used by mathematicians and astronomers during the 17th century, and demonstrates the importance of accurate calculations in fields such as navigation and surveying.And The Logarithms Of The Sines And Tangents To Every Degree And Hundred Part Of A Degree In The Quadrant.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
