Publisher's Synopsis
Elements of Trigonometry, and Trigonometrical Analysis: Preliminary to the Differential Calculus is a mathematical textbook written by Augustus De Morgan and originally published in 1837. The book serves as an introduction to trigonometry, a branch of mathematics that deals with the relationships between the sides and angles of triangles. De Morgan's book covers a range of topics in trigonometry, including the definitions of trigonometric functions, the use of trigonometric identities, and the application of trigonometry to solve problems in geometry and physics. The book also includes a section on the use of logarithms in trigonometry, as well as a section on spherical trigonometry, which deals with triangles on the surface of a sphere.The book is intended as a preparation for the study of the differential calculus, a branch of mathematics that deals with the rates of change of functions. As such, De Morgan's book includes a number of exercises and problems designed to help students develop their mathematical skills and prepare for more advanced studies.Overall, Elements of Trigonometry, and Trigonometrical Analysis: Preliminary to the Differential Calculus is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to trigonometry, written by one of the most prominent mathematicians of the 19th century. It remains a valuable resource for students and scholars of mathematics today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
