Logarithmic and Trigonometric Tables

by Ernest Jackson Oglesby

Here for your delectation is the SPECTACULAR & RARE------------------LOGARITHMIC AND TRIGONOMETRIC TABLES by Ernest Jackson Oglesby and Hollis Raymond Cooley. Sequel to "KITCHEN, COFFEE, AND BILLIARD TABLES"............................ In mathematics, tables of trigonometric functions are useful in a number of areas. Before the existence of pocket calculators, trigonometric tables were essential for navigation, science and engineering. The calculation of mathematical tables was an important area of study, which led to the development of the first mechanical computing devices. Modern computers and pocket calculators now generate trigonometric function values on demand, using special libraries of mathematical code. Often, these libraries use pre-calculated tables internally, and compute the required value by using an appropriate interpolation method. Interpolation of simple look-up tables of trigonometric functions is still used in computer graphics, where only modest accuracy may be required and speed is often paramount. Another important application of trigonometric tables and generation schemes is for fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithms, where the same trigonometric function values (called twiddle factors) must be evaluated many times in a given transform, especially in the common case where many transforms of the same size are computed. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! This is the hardcover only stated Prentice Edition from 1935. Both the cover (no dj) and the book are in excellent condition. There are no rips, tears, markings, etc.---and the pages and binding are tight (see photo). ** All books listed as FIRST EDITIONS are stated by the publisher in words or number lines--or--only stated editions that include only the publisher and publication date. Check my feedback to see that I sell exactly as I describe. So bid now for this magnificent, impossible-to-find MATHEMATICS COLLECTIBLE.
