After the explanations of Art. 26, the method of working the following examples will be easily understood : Ex. 1. Find the number whose logarithm is 7-9030173. Taking from the tables the mantissæ next above and below, we have •9030194 M. of log 79987 54 D. : Hence, subtracting (1) from (7)— 33 d, the difference between the logarithms of the required number and the next lower. 33 Now •61, the difference between the next lower 54 number and the required number. Hence •9030173 M. of log 79986:61 ; .:. 1.9030173 = log 7998661; • .:. •7998661 is the number required. Ex. 2.* Find the value of (1.023)3 x (1.32756)* We havelog N = 3 log 1.023 + 1 log .00123 – 4 log 1.32756.

M. of log 13275.6 •1230541 . . 4 log 1.32756 4 x •1230541 -4922164 Then, subtracting, log N 2.5078867 Hence we have, •5078867 M. of log N, and •5078828 M. of log 32202; 39 d, also 135 D, 39 135 log •03220229. = •29. Trigonometrical Tables. 29. We use trigonometrical tables much in the same way as we do tables of ordinary logarithms of numbers. Tables have been formed of natural sines, cosines, &c., and also of logarithmic sines, cosines, &c. It is with the latter & only we shall now deal, though many of our remarks apply equally to the former. As the values of the natural sines and cosines of all angles between 0° and 90° are (Art. 11) less than unity, it follows (Art. 21) that their logarithms are negative. To avoid, however, printing them in a negative form, and for other reasons, it is usual to add 10 to their real value, and hence in using them we must allow for this. The same thing is also done in the case of logarithmic tangents, cotangents, secants, and cosecants. We generally express the true logarithmic sine by log sin, and the tabular logarithmic sine by L sin. Hence, we have, log sin A L sin A - 10, log cos A = L cos A 10, &c. It must be remembered in using the tables that, although (Art. 11) the sine, secant, and tangent of an angle increase as the angle increases from 0° to 90°, yet the cosine, cosecant, and cotangent diminish as the angle increases. Hence, when any angle is not exactly contained in the tables, we must add the difference in the case of a sine, secant, or tangent; but subtract it in the case of a cosine, cosecant, or cotangent. And, conversely, when the given logarithm is not contained exactly in the tables, we must in the case of the sine, secant, or tangent take out the next lower tabular logarithm as corresponding to the angle next lower; but in the case of a cosine, cosecant, or cotangent, we must take out the next higher tabular logarithm as corresponding to the angle next lower in the tables. We shall assume that small differences in the angles are proportional to the corresponding differences of the logarithmic trigonometrical ratios Ex. 1.
