Topics in Trigonometric Tables

1

Basic Units and Conversions

  • 1 minute (1') = 60 seconds (60'')
  • Decimal degrees can be converted to degrees-minutes-seconds format
2

Structure of Trigonometric Tables

  • Tables are divided into 12 columns total
  • First column contains degrees from 0° to 90°
  • Next 10 columns are headed by minutes: 0', 6', 12', 18', 24', 30', 36', 42', 48', 54'
3

Using Mean Differences

  • Mean differences are used for interpolation between tabulated values
  • Add mean difference when function value increases with angle (sin, tan, sec)
  • Subtract mean difference when function value decreases with angle (cos, cot, cosec)
4

Practical Examples and Conversions

  • Convert decimal degrees before using tables
  • Work systematically from degrees to minutes to seconds
  • Handle remainders carefully in each conversion step
