Excerpt from Hyperbolic Functions
Among the early publications of the Smithsonian Institution was a very important volume of meteorological tables by Dr. Arnold Guyot. They were so widely used by geographers and physicists as well as by meteorologists that when the fourth edition was exhausted it was decided to recast the entire work and publish three separate volumes, Meteorological Tables, Geographical Tables, and Physical Tables, each of which has now passed through several editions.
In the application of the data of these volumes to the study of natural phenomena certain mathematical tables beside those included in ordinary tables of logarithms are urgently needed in order to save recurrent computa tion on the part of observers and investigators. It was therefore decided to publish the present volume of Mathematical Tables, on Hyperbolic Func tions.
