Page vii - ... facility other French books. In the Dictionary at the end, is given the meaning of every- word contained in the book. The explanatory words are placed at the end of the book, instead of at the foot of the page; by this method learners will derive considerable benefit.
Page 83 - P'M' = sin a, OP' = cos a, AT'" = tan a, JBT" = cot a, OT" = sec a, OT'" = cosec a, without reference to their signs : hence, we have, as before, the following relations : sin (180° — a) = sin a, cos (180° — a) — — cos a, tan (180° — a) = — tan a, cot (180° — a) = — cot a, sec (180° — a) = — sec a, cosec (180 — a) = cosec a, By a similar process, we may discuss the remaining arcs b question.
