CHICAGO, June, 1934. CHARLES WILBER LEIGH. v r I PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION This text has been written because the authors felt the need of a treatment of trigonometry that duly emphasized those parts necessary to a proper understanding of the courses taken in schools of technology. Yet it is hoped that teachers of mathe- matics in classical colleges and universities as well will find it suited to their needs. It is useless to claim any great originality in treatment or in the selection of subject matter. No attempt has been made to be novel only; but the best ideas and treatment have been used, no matter how often they have appeared in other works on trigonometry. The following points are to be especially noted: (1) The measurement of angles is considered at the beginning. (2) The trigonometric functions are defined at once for any angle, then specialized for the acute angle; not first defined for acute angles, then for obtuse angles, and then for general angles. To do this, use is made of Cartesian coordinates, which are now almost universally taught in elementary algebra. (3) The treatment of triangles comes in its natural and logical unler and is not JOfced to the first pages 01 the book. (4) Considerable use is made of the line representation of the trigonometric functions. This makes the proof of certain theo- rems easier of comprehension and lends itself to many useful applications. (5) Trigonometric equations are introduced early and used often. (6) Anti-trigonometric functions are used throughout the work, not placed in a short chapter at the close. They are used in the solutions of equations and triangles. Much stress is laid upon the principal values of anti-trigonometric functions as used later in the more advanced subjects of mathematics. (7) A limited use is made of the so-called "laboratory method" to impress upon the student certain fundamental ideas. (8) Numerous carefully graded practical problems are given and an abundance of drill exercises. (9) There is a chapter on complex numbers, series, and hyper- bolic functions. vii , ' ,'/ ' I ' I ! viii PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION (10) A very complete treatment is given on the use of logarith- mic and trigonometric tables. This is printed in connection with the tables, and so does not break up the continuity of the trigo- nometry proper. (11) The tables are carefully compiled and are based upon those of Gauss. Particular attention has been given to the determination of angles near 0 and 90°, and to the functions of such angles. The tables are printed in an unshaded type, and the arrangement on the pages has received careful study. The authors take this opportunity to express their indebted- ness to Prof. D. F. Campbell of the Armour Institute of Tech- nology, Prof. N. C. Riggs of the Carnegie Institute of Technology, and Prof. W. B. Carver of Cornell University, who have read the work in manuscript and proof and have made many valuable suggestions and criticisms. THE AUTHORS.

Introductory remarks The word trigonometry is derived from two Greek words, TPL'Y"'IIOIl(trigonon), meaning triangle, and }J.ETpLa(metria), meaning measurement. While the derivation of the word would seem to confine the subject to triangles, the measurement of triangles is merely a part of the general subject which includes many other investigations involving angles. Trigonometry is both geometric and algebraic in nature. Historically, trigonometry developed in connection with astron- omy, where distances that could not be measured directly were computed by means oLaJlgltltLlicQ<il111e;:L1hat_~9JJld_bemeasill'gd. The beginning of these methods may be traced to Babylon and Ancient Egypt. The noted Greek astronomer Hipparchus is often called the founder of trigonometry. He did his chief work between 146 and 126 B. C. and developed trigonometry as an aid in measuring angles and lines in connection with astronomy. The subject of trigonometry was separated from astronomy and established as a distinct branch of mathematics by the great mathematician Leonhard Euler, who lived from 1707 to 1783. To pursue the subject of trigonometry successfully, the student should know the subjects usually treated in algebra up to and including quadratic equations, and be familiar with plane geom- etry, especially the theorems on triangles and circles. Frequent use is made of the protractor, compasses, and the straightedge in constructing figures. While parts of trigonometry can be applied at once to the solution of various interesting and practical problems, much of 1 I l - '2 PLANE AND SPHERICAL TRIGONOMETRY it is studied because it is very frequently used in more advanced subjects in mathematics. ANGLES 2. Definitions The definition of an angle as given in geometry admits of a clear conception of small angles only. In trigo- nometry, we wish to consider positive and negative angles and these Jf any size whatever; hence we need a more comprehensive definition of an angle. If a line, starting from the position OX (Fig. 1), is revolved about the point 0 and always kept in the same plane, we say the line generates an angle. If it revolves from the position OX to the position OA, in the direction indicated by the arrow, the YI angle XOA is generated. ,A The original position OX of the generating line is called the initial side, and the final position OA, the x terminal side of the angle. If the rotation of the generating line is counterclockwise, as already taken, the angle is said to be positive. If OX revolves in a clockwise direc- tion to a position, as OB, the angle generated is said to be negative. In reading an angle, the letter on the initial side is read first to give the proper sense of direction. If the angle is read in the opposite sense, the negative of the angle is meant. Thus, LAOX = -LXOA. It is easily seen that this conception of an angle makes it possible to think of an angle as being of any size whatever. Thus, the generating line, when it has reached the position OY, having made a quarter of a revolution in a counterclockwise direction, has generated a right angle; when it has reached the position OX' it has generated two right angles. A complete revolution gener- ates an angle containing four right angles; two revolutions, eight right angles; and so on for any amount of turning. The right angle is divided into 90 equal parts called degrees (°), each degree is divided into 60 equal parts called minutes ('), and each minute into 60 equal parts called seconds ("). Starting from any position as initial side, it is evident that for each position of the terminal side, there are two angles less x! C y' FIG. 1. INTRODUCTION 3 than 360°, one positive and one negative. Thus, in Fig. 1, oe is the terminal side for the positive angle xoe or for the negative angle xoe. 3. Quadrants It is convenient to divide the plane formed by a complete revolution of the generating line into four parts by the two perpendicular lines X' X and Y' Y. These parts are called first, second, third, and fourth quadrants, respectively. They are placed as shown by the x~ Roman numerals in Fig. 2. If OX is taken as the initial side of an angle, the angle is said to lie in the quadrant in which its terminal side lies. Thus, XOP1 (Fig. 2) lies in the third quadrant, and XOP2, formed by more than one revolution, lies in the first quadrant. An angle lies between two quadrants if its terminal side lies on the line between two quadrants. 4. Graphical addition and subtraction of angles Two angles are added by placing them in the same plane IL c with their vertices together and the initialside B of the "econd on the terminal "ide of the first. The sum is the angle from the initial side of . the first to the terminal side of the second. 0 Subtraction is performed by adding the 0 A negative of the subtrahend to the minuend. FIG. 3.

The system is chosen that is best adapted to the purpose for which it is used. (1) The right angle The most familiar unit of measure of an angle is the right angle. It is easy to construct, enters frequently into the practical uses of life, and is almost always used in geom- etry. It has no subdivisions and does not lend itself readily to computations. (2) The sexagesimal system The sexagesimal system has for its fundamental unit the degree, which is defined to be the angle formed by -do part of a revolution of the generating linp system used by eng;mecrs and others in making prac- tical numerical computations. The subdivisions of the degree are the minute and the second, as stated in Art. 2. The word "sexagesimal" is derived from the Latin word sexagesimus, meaning one-sixtieth. (3) The centesimal system Another system for measuring angles was proposed in France somewhat over a century ago. This is the centesimal system. In it the right angle is divided into 100 equal parts called grades, the grade into 100 equal parts called minutes, and the minute into 100 equal parts called seconds. While this system has many admirable features, its use could not become general without recomputing with a great expenditure of labor many of the existing tables. (4) The circular or natural system In the circular or natural system for measuring angles, sometimes called radian measure or .,,;-measure, the fundamental unit is the radian. The radian is defined to be the angle which, when placed with its vertex at the center of a circle, intercepts an arc equal in length l INTRODUCTION 5 to the radius of the circle. Or it itS defined as the positive angle generated when a point on the generating line has passed through an arc equal in length to the radius of the circle being formed by that point. In Fig. 4, the angles AOB, BOC, . . . FOG are each 1 radian, since the sides of each angle intercept an arc equal in length to the radius of the circle. The circular system lends itself nat- urally to the measurement of angles in many theoretical considerations. It is used almost exclusively in the calculus D and its applications. (5) Other systems Instead of divid- ing the degree into minutes and seconds, it is sometimes divided into tenths, hundredths, and thousandths. This decimal scale has been used more or less ever since decimal frac- tions were invented in the sixteenth century. The mil is a unit of angle used in artillery practice. The mil is lr roo revolution, or very nearly -rcrITOradian; hence its name. The scales by means of which the guns in the United States Field Artillery are aimed are graduated in this unit. . f"'T"I'I, ,'t - ,-;YDLemto UDein measuring an angle is apparent from a consider- ation of the geometrical basis for the definition of the radian.
