This is a text in Practical Astronomy especially adapted to the needs of civil-engineering students who can devote but little time to the subject, and who are not likely to take up advanced study of Astronomy. The text deals chiefly with the class of observations which can be made with surveying instruments, the methods applicable to astronomical and geodetic instruments being treated briefly.

The author keeps the treatment elementary, and yet includes all the fundamental principles of physics. The book covers kinematics, simple harmonic motion, some general properties of matter, some special properties of matter, waves, sound, theory of heat, magnetism, electrostatics, electric currents, light, optical instruments.

This is one of the leading books for artists in understanding the anatomy of the human being. It emphasizes planes, light and dark and what lies underneath the skin. It is not for any scientific study, and it doesn't go into great detail as to the exact purpose of muscles. It appears to be a fixed law that the contraction of a muscle shall be toward its centre, therefore, the subject for mechanism on each occasion is so to modify the figure, and adjust the position of the muscle as to produce the motion required agreeably with this law. This can only be done by giving to different muscles a diversity of configuration suited to their several offices and to their situation with respect to the work which they have to perform.

This book collects in the same document all state-of-the-art algorithms in multiple precision arithmetic (integers, integers modulo n, floating-point numbers). The book will be useful for graduate students in computer science and mathematics, researchers in discrete mathematics, computer algebra, number theory, cryptography, and developers of multiple-precision libraries.
