Abstract
THIS short course is intended for those who do not require more than a very elementary knowledge of the subject. The treatment adopted is therefore very simple and the language plain. The book is divided into four parts. The first includes definitions, trigonometrical ratios, and multiple and sub-multiple angles, &c.; the second contains a short account of the use of logarithms and mathematical tables. In the third part the solution of triangles, determination of areas of triangles, and the treatment of circles and other figures associated with a triangle are dealt with. Part iv. contains the solutions of some of the more simple trigonometrical equations and also numerous questions on bookwork and answers to the many examples given in the book. As a first course for beginners the book should prove useful.
