The young mathematician's guide . Being a plain and easie introduction to the mathematicks. In five Parts. viz. I. Arithmetick, vulgar, and decimal, with all the useful rules; and a general method of extracting the roots of all single powers. II. Algebra, or arithmetick in species; wherein the method of raising and resolving æquations is rendered easie; and illustrated with variety of examples, and numerical questions. Also the whole business of interest and annuities, &c. performed by the pen. III. The elments of geometry, contracted, and analytically demonstrated; with a new and easie method of finding the circle's peripherty and area to any assigned exactness, by one æquation only; also a new way of making sines and tangents. IV. Conic sections, wherein the chief properties, &c. of the ellipsis, parabola, and hyperbola, are clearly demonstrated. V. The arithmetick of infinites explain'd, and render'd easie; with its application to superficial, and solid geometry. With an appendix of practical [ea]ging. The sixth edition, carefully corrected; and new tables of compound interest at five percent. calculated, and added by the author, John Ward.

Synopsis palmariorum matheseos: or, A new introduction to the mathematics Containing the principles of arithmetic & geometry demonstrated, in a short and easie method; with their application to the most useful parts thereof: as, resolving of equations, infinite series, making the logarithms; interest, simple and compound; the chief properties of the conic sections; mensuration of surfaces and solids; the fundamental precepts of perspective; trigonometry; the laws of motion apply'd to mechanic powers, gunnery, &c. Design'd for the benefit, and adapted to the capacities of beginners. By W. Jones.

The sector and plain scale, compared . Containing I. The description of all the lines upon the sector and plain scales. II. The true use of the sector made plain and easie in several geometrical problems, and in all the cases of right lin'd trigonometry. III. All the proceeding geometrical problems, and cases of right lin'd trigonometry compared by the plain scale, and proved by Mr. Gunter's scale. IV. All the proceeding cases of right lin'd trigonometry, performed arithmetically, without the help of any sort of tables. Unto which is annexed, so much of decimal arithmetick, and the extraction of the square root, as is necessary for the working of arithmetical trigonometry. The second edition. By Roger Rea. N.P. Phi.
