About The Book
A Treatise of Mathematical Instruments contains a
complete description of a range of tools that are
useful in mathematics, surveying, architecture,
navigation, drafting, gunnery, physics, and
illustration. It covers the sector (a form of
calculator that predates the slide rule), the gunner’s
calipers, the proportional compasses, and a variety of
lesser instruments.
Examples show how to use all of the instruments, with
extensive details on architectural drawing, plane
geoemtry, spherical trigonometry, unit conversion,
surveying, perspective drawing, and ship’s guns
(cannons and mortars). 12 plates of figures illustrate
and clarify the text.
Anyone who has ever drafted a plan or drawing by hand
or recalls having used a slide rule will be interested
in this book. Those who has only used electronic
devices will learn something new. Additionally, a
wealth of historical details are revealed through the
extensive figures and the text.
Modern notes include a biography of the author John
Robertson, an explanation of some of the notation used
in the book, and a brief commentary and history on
mathematical methods, surveying, navigation, and
architecture.
