is 1536796802 times as large as tangent No. 5; consequently the difference between the tangents Nos. 4 and 5 is exactly the same as the difference between the differences of the inscribed and circumscribed polygons of Cases 3 and 4.

NOTE.-It will no doubt be observed by the student that, in the Summary for Cases 6 and 7, the sine and tangent are not extended in decimals, for the reason that the space could be better occupied with matter more important to the subject. The student will find it a very agreeable pastime to verify the result in these Cases for himself, and it was partly with that view that they were omitted. The sine and tangent in Case 6 should agree together for 72, and in Case 7 for 144, decimal places.

The cosine, radius, and secant have also been omitted, partly for the same reason, and partly because the radius with which they should both agree will be found carried out in the Second Part of this book; for Case 6 they should agree like the sine and tangent with each other to 72 decimal places, and for Case 7 to 144 decimal places.
