Σελίδα 529 - Consider, for instance, joint 6, the polygon for which is a gij a. Notice that the corresponding letters AGIJA, on the truss, follow one another around the joint in such a manner that in passing from one to another we move in a direction opposite to that in which the hands of a clock move, and by naming them all we go around an entire circle in the same direction, passing from A to G, from G to /, from / to J, etc. This gives the directions of the corresponding lines in the diagram for the given...
Σελίδα 77 - In order to find the square root of a number, the first step is to find how many figures there will be in the root. This is done by pointing off the number into periods of two figures each, beginning at the rig/it.
