Zimmern, Percy Gardner, Sir Reginald Blomfield She had decided on French, chemistry, Greek tragedy, Horace's odes and spherical trigonometry for the fall term, a programme that meant hard study. Marjorie Dean, College Sophomore As it is, our trigonometry being founded on the circle, π first appears as the ratio stated. A Budget of Paradoxes, Volume I “You have not yet entered into acute trigonometry?” Mr. Midshipman Easy Variety of college courses in mathematics Freshmen courses in mathematics differ widely, but the most common subjects are advanced algebra, plane trigonometry, and solid geometry. College Teaching Studies in Methods of Teaching in the College “What do I care for your algebra and your trigonometry?” he one day observed. Salt Water The Sea Life and Adventures of Neil D'Arcy the Midshipman “I tried to study a few works on trigonometry and surveying during the winter, but it was a little difficult,” he said. The Gold Trail But optics, algebra, geometry, calculus, trigonometry, and the rest, filled him with misgivings for the future. The Life of William Ewart Gladstone, Vol. 1 (of 3) 1809-1859 We know he had spherical trigonometry enough to make almanacs, but not without the suspicion of aid from Ellicot, who was his neighbor and friend, and never missed an opportunity of puffing him. The Journal of Negro History, Volume 3, 1918 It would be highly desirable that a course of collegiate grade in trigonometry should immediately precede the physics. College Teaching Studies in Methods of Teaching in the College Students of geometry or trigonometry often have difficulty in understanding a theorem until they succeed in visualizing the surface or solid involved. The Mind and Its Education It would, she admitted, certainly be a little difficult to study trigonometry in such surroundings. The Gold Trail He now applied himself to geometry and trigonometry; and at the ripe age of sixteen was ready to sling his somewhat crude surveyor's instruments across his shoulder and subdue the wilderness. Boys' Book of Famous Soldiers I worked off a year’s trigonometry that summer, and began Virgil alone. My Ántonia It is adapted only to a plane surface, and belongs only to geometry, earth-measurement, that trigonometry which deals only with planes, and with the earth, which the ancients supposed to be a plane. Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry Moore's "Navigator" taught not only a very crude sort of trigonometry, but a good deal about the warship of his time. The Reminiscences of an Astronomer His efforts are directed by observers in aeroplanes or balloons, and the range is established by calculations, so that the gunner must be proficient in geometry, trigonometry and mathematics generally. Kelly Miller's History of the World War for Human Rights Good boys, low on phosphorus, used to get him to start their daily themes, and those overtaken in the throes of trigonometry he often rescued from disgrace.

The Compass describes circles, and deals with spherical trigonometry, the science of the spheres and heavens. Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry When applying for admission to the class in trigonometry, the instructor doubtfully admitted her, as so many of the High School pupils had found the subject very hard and preferred a review of other mathematics. Twentieth Century Negro Literature Or, A Cyclopedia of Thought on the Vital Topics Relating to the American Negro It was a matter of angles when it was desirable to come down to a close calculation, and the young commander found his trigonometry very useful, and fortunately not forgotten. A Victorious Union He had also mastered trigonometry, surveying, navigation, geometry and differential calculus. Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great - Volume 12 Little Journeys to the Homes of Great Scientists Eggs à la reine seemed as difficult as trigonometry, or conic sections, or differential calculus—and much more expensive.

Grace Harlowe's First Year at Overton College Is misunderstanding, injustice, suspicion, or contempt a misfortune to the earnest man or woman anywhere who is trying to guide his life by a more celestial trigonometry than petty minds can conceive? Twentieth Century Negro Literature Or, A Cyclopedia of Thought on the Vital Topics Relating to the American Negro "Make the course south-west by south, Mr. Baskirk," said the young commander, after he had brought his trigonometry into use again. A Victorious Union She sees this same fact merging into the operations of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, physics, and engineering, until it finally functions in some enterprise that redounds to the well-being of humanity.

Grace Harlowe's First Year at Overton College Nor had Harriet, as yet, mastered the principles of trigonometry, which branch of mathematics underlies navigation. The Meadow-Brook Girls by the Sea Or The Loss of The Lonesome Bar The first needs a thorough course in algebra, geometry, and trigonometry; the second needs industrial arithmetic, with only such applications of higher mathematics as may be of use to him in his trade. Wage Earning and Education Then, still others divide and subdivide, and science becomes the sciences, and mathematics becomes arithmetic, and algebra, and geometry, and trigonometry, and calculus, and astronomy. The Vitalized School Before astronomy presented Hipparchus with the problem of solar tables, there was nothing to raise the question of the relations between lines and angles; the subject-matter of trigonometry had not been conceived. Essays on Education and Kindred Subjects Everyman's Library It is far more pleasant to be describing a shield and settling questions in the queer old language of this queer old science, than in solving and propounding problems in trigonometry and conic sections. In Luck at Last Mere facts about trees taught in an academic way are often no more lasting than the formulæ in trigonometry which most of us have long ago forgotten. Studies of Trees We needn't trouble ourselves anything about Latin and Greek, and trigonometry and algebra. Outward Bound Or, Young America Afloat The novel or the play that is to hold its own in the curriculum in competition with trigonometry must have some knotty problem which causes the harassed reader to knit his brows in anxious thought. Humanly Speaking Further, the reduction of the doctrine of the sphere to the quantitative form needed for astronomical purposes, required the formation of a spherical trigonometry, which was also achieved by Hipparchus. Essays on Education and Kindred Subjects Everyman's Library He also took a course in geometry and trigonometry at the Academy and wrote an article describing his trip to Boston for The Gazette. In the Days of Poor Richard "Now, Mr. Scott, don't open Bowditch's Navigator to us, or talk about projection,' 'logarithms,' 'Gunter,' and 'inspection;' for I am not capable of understanding them, for my trigonometry has gone to the weeping willows." Across India Or, Live Boys in the Far East She found his simple trigonometry very, very hard, but to her husband it was easy, and with his help she succeeded. Miriam's Schooling and Other Papers "Our curriculum, sir," corrected the schoolmaster, "embraces geography, arithmetic, trigonometry—" "That'll do," interrupted the father. More Toasts Hipparchus, before making his solar and lunar tables, had to discover rules for calculating the relations between the sides and angles of triangles—trigonometry a subdivision of pure mathematics. Essays on Education and Kindred Subjects Everyman's Library This places us in a condition to understand, even without trigonometry, the solution of the important problem of measuring the length of a wave of light. Six Lectures on Light Delivered In The United States In 1872-1873 Algebra should be more closely related to practical matters and developed in connection with geometry and trigonometry. What the Schools Teach and Might Teach To attempt to undo what has been done, to restore the curriculum to the antiquated cadre of Latin and Greek, trigonometry, mental science and rhetoric, would be a reaction as senseless as hopeless. Lippincott's Magazine of Popular Literature and Science Volume 17, No. 098, February, 1876 Personally we employ trigonometry, altho many prefer calculus and a couple of lawyers. More Toasts This somewhat perplexed the mate, as he always made his reckoning by rule of thumb, and could no more change his method than work out a problem in trigonometry. Mr. Trunnell, Mate of the Ship "Pirate" "You'll find out when you go to college and study trigonometry," Mr. Perry replied. The Radio Boys in the Thousand Islands It is thought that, on the one hand, it should be knit up in far larger measure with practical matters, and on the other, it should be developed in connection with geometry and trigonometry. What the Schools Teach and Might Teach In the first term algebra, logarithms and geometry had to be finished, for in the second term trigonometry was the subject in mathematics. Dave Darrin's First Year at Annapolis On the other hand, a boy who has been grounded well in algebra, geometry and trigonometry may then easily enter the office of a practicing civil engineer and begin with the tools of the profession. The High School Captain of the Team Dick & Co. Leading the Athletic Vanguard "The question is broad as the ocean, my good friend, and a fitting answer might lead us into abstrusities deeper than any problem in our trigonometry.—Was that the stroke of an oar?" The Water-Witch or, the Skimmer of the Seas Human beings in his stage of evolution never consciously reflect on the reasons of things, and considerations of comparative psychology or esthetics are as much beyond his mental powers as problems in algebra or trigonometry.

Donal Grant, by George MacDonald It was for this purpose that he devised the indispensable method of calculation which we now know so well as trigonometry. Great Astronomers I had a natural distaste for mathematics, and my recollections of my struggles with trigonometry and conic sections are not altogether those of a conquering heroine. A New England girlhood, outlined from memory (Beverly, MA) Another mathematical improvement was the introduction into trigonometry of the sine—the half-chord of the double arc—instead of the chord of the arc itself which the Greek astronomers had employed. A History of Science — Volume 2 Geometry has been perfected and trigonometry has made a sure beginning. A History of Science — Volume 1 Haliburton, not strong in spherical trigonometry, looked out logarithms for me till breakfast, and, as soon as it would do, went over to Mrs. Bowdoin, to borrow her telescope, ours being left at No. 9. The Brick Moon and Other Stories For the purpose of working out this theory he required a science of trigonometry, plane and spherical: and this he accordingly seems to have invented. Alexandria and Her Schools; four lectures delivered at the Philosophical Institution, Edinburgh It is of fundamental importance in most branches of geometry, and the basis of the whole of trigonometry—the special branch of geometry that deals with the practical mensuration of triangles. Bygone Beliefs: being a series of excursions in the byways of thought The Saracens also gave to trigonometry its modern form, substituting sines for chords, which had been previously used; they elevated it into a separate science. History of the Conflict Between Religion and Science His computations of the properties of the spheres led him also to what was virtually a discovery of the method of trigonometry, giving him, therefore, a high position in the field of mathematics. A History of Science — Volume 1 He found books on trigonometry in the mathematics section, and ran the pages, and stared at the meaningless formulas and figures. Martin Eden In the alchemy of his brain, trigonometry and mathematics and the whole field of knowledge which they betokened were transmuted into so much landscape. Martin Eden |
