About this book :-
This book presents both a survey of the main elements of trigonometry and a unique account of its vital contribution to science and social development, brings the subject to life in a compelling blend of history, biography, and mathematics. Trigonometry has a reputation as a dry, difficult branch of mathematics, a glorified form of geometry complicated by tedious computation. In Trigonometric Delights, Eli Maor dispels this view. This book presents both a survey of the main elements of trigonometry and a unique account of its vital contribution to science and social development, brings the subject to life in a compelling blend of history, biography, and mathematics. From the 'proto-trigonometry' of the Egyptian pyramid builders to Renaissance Europe's quest for more accurate artillery, from the earliest known trigonometric table, carved on a clay tablet by an unknown Babylonian scholar, to Fourier's famous theorem, which finally explained the source of musical harmony, here is a rich tapestry of almost four thousand years of trigonometric history. The Renaissance scholar Regiomontanus, who is rumored to have been poisoned for insulting a colleague, and Maria Agnesi, an eighteenth-century Italian genius who gave up mathematics to work with the poor but not before she investigated a special curve that, due to mistranslation, bears the unfortunate name "the witch of Agnesi. Trigonometric Delights will change forever our view of a once-dreaded subject.
