The Elements of Plane Trigonometry (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Elements of Plane Trigonometry

In preparing the work, it has been the main pur pose of the writer to make the subject plain to begin ners, and especially plain to that class of students to whom Mathematics are distasteful. For this purpose, a great deal of space has been given to the considera tion of the elementary definitions. For this purpose, also, the definitions have been applied to acute angles and to obtuse angles separately, and, after the student is thus made familiar with them, have been extended to angles of any magnitude. It has been hoped that, in this way, even the non-mathematical mind might be easily prepared for a clear understanding of this im portant and interesting subject.
