Mathematical Handbook: Containing the Chief Formulas of Algebra, Trigonometry, Circular and Hyperbolic Functions, Differential and Integral Calculus, ... With Mathematical Tables (Classic Reprint)

The uses which this book may serve hardly need to be pointed out. Some years ago the writer composed the part relating toT rigonometry and used it as a syllabus for instruction in his college classes. It served its purpose and soon went out of print. But a stray copy of it found its way to the table of a well-known civil engineer, to whom it proved constantly useful, and by whom it was often referred to as his memory. This engineer has suggested a revision and republication of the original book with important enlargements. Accordingly there have been added Sections on A lgebra, theD ifferential and Integral Calculus, and Analytic Geometry. The subject of Hyperbolic Functions, which now receives much more attention than formerly, has been more fully treated. Tables have been added, which include not only those universally used, but also some like those of the Hyperbolic Functions, of theN atural Logarithms of Numbers, and that of the Velocity ofF alling Bodies (v =2gh) that have been hitherto not readily accessible. Of course no efforts have been spared to secure correctness in the printing of the formulas and the tables; but persons experienced in such work need not be reminded of the improbability that the first edition of a book of this kind should be absolutely free from error. The writer and the publishers can only add, that notice of any errors that may be detected will be thankfully received, and the necessary corrections will be promptly made and published. A lso, suggestions of desirable additions to the book and of other improvements are invited with a view to their use in possible future editions. E. P. S. June,
