About this book :-
"A Text-Book on Advanced Algebra and Trigonometry, With Tables" by "William Charles Brenke" is a classic mathematics text designed for learners who already have a basic understanding of "algebra" and "trigonometry". It provides a structured and integrated approach to advanced topics, combining clear explanations, practical examples, and exercises to strengthen problem-solving skills. Brenke’s work is ideal for students, self-learners, and early university learners seeking a deeper understanding of mathematical principles.
The "algebra" section delves into higher-level topics such as equations, series, logarithms, permutations, and combinations. Brenke explains complex concepts step by step, providing worked examples to ensure learners can apply the methods correctly. This systematic approach helps readers build confidence in manipulating algebraic expressions and solving advanced mathematical problems, bridging the gap between foundational math and more advanced studies.
In the "trigonometry" section, the book covers trigonometric functions, identities, and applications in geometry and problem solving. Tables for logarithms and trigonometric values are included to aid calculations, reflecting pre-calculator methods while reinforcing practical skills. Brenke emphasizes the interconnection between "algebra" and "trigonometry", giving readers a comprehensive understanding of these core areas. Overall, this book is a valuable resource for mastering "mathematics", preparing for further study in calculus, engineering, or applied sciences.
