Abstract
ALTHOUGH the contents of this volume do not differ essentially from those normally to be found in books of this kind, many innovations have been introduced in the arrangement and presentation, and the author has spared no pains to ensure that comparatively limited space available is utilized to maximum advantage and efficiency. In addition to the ordinary tables of common logarithms, there is a supplementary table covering the range 1.000–2.099 at intervals of 0.01, and a similar feature appears in the trigonometrical sections, where entries are provided at 1'-intervals for cotangents and cosecants up to 18° and for secants and tangents in the range 72–90°.
