Bordered Antilogarithms. Trigonometric Logarithms to Every two Minutes. Natural Functions on Three Pages. Tables of Exact Squares

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  03 November 2016

Extract

Although books of mathematical tables have appeared by the dozen in recent years, most of them show little or no evidence of originality in the matter of arrangement. One of the most common characteristics of such tables is that much space is taken up with unnecessary repetition, as when both logarithms and antilogarithms, squares and square roots, or sines and cosines of all circles from 0° to 90° are separately tabulated, while the information supplied in other directions is defective, as when logarithms of reciprocals are omitted and tables of squares fail to give the correct values of the squares of integers.
