Popular passages
Page 32 - If two triangles have two angles and the included side of the one, equal to two angles and the included side of the other, each to each, the two triangles will be equal.
Page 106 - I. The sine of the middle part is equal to the product of the tangents of the adjacent parts.
Page 122 - A'B'C', and applying the law of cosines, we have cos a' = cos b' cos c' + sin b' sin c' cos A'. Remembering the relations a' = 180° -A, b' = 180° - B, etc. (this expression becomes cos A = — cos B cos C + sin B sin C cos a.
Page 141 - A cos 6 = cos a cos c + sin a sin c cos B cos c = cos a cos 6 + sin a sin 6 cos C Law of Cosines for Angles cos A = — cos B...
Page 17 - To Divide One Number by Another, Subtract the logarithm of the divisor from the logarithm of the dividend, and obtain the antilogarithm of the difference.
Page 20 - The logarithm of any power of a number is equal to the logarithm of the number multiplied by the exponent of the power.
Page 120 - The sines of the sides of a spherical triangle are proportional to the sines of their opposite angles. Let ABC be a spherical triangle.
Page viii - For a number greater than 1, the characteristic is positive and is one less than the number of digits before the decimal point.
Page 63 - C' (89) (90) (91) (92) (93) 112. In any plane triangle, the sum of any two sides is to their difference as the tangent of half the sum of the opposite angles is to the tangent of half their difference.
Page viii - In general, if the number is not an exact power of 10, its logarithm, in the common system, will consist of two parts — an entire part and a decimal part. The entire part is called the characteristic and the decimal part is called the mantissa.
