Abstract

(1) THE introductory course provided by this textbook includes the solution of triangles, omitting the ambiguous case, applications to the geometry of the triangle and quadrilateral, and easy problems in surveying. Complicated identities are excluded on the ground that they belong to the pro gramme of the specialist rather than the amateur for whose use this is primarily intended. The general character of the book will probably be considered unduly conservative. It fails to take cognisance of the recent movement affecting the teaching of trigo nometry. There is scarcely as much numerical work as many teachers will require, and the quality of the problems, which profess to be practical, is distinctly poor. The best feature of the book is the material provided for oral work, which will be found invaluable for class purposes.
