Four Place Tables of Logarithms & Trigonometric Functions - Unabridged Edition 1910 E.V. Huntington 1910, Harvard Cooperative Society MA mathematics E.V. Huntington, 1910. Approx. 9"x7" in good overall condition. Four Place Tables of Logarithms and Trigonometric Functions: With Auxiliary Tables (Chiefly to Three Figures) of Squares, Square Roots, Cubes, Cube Roots, Reciprocals, Circumferences and Areas of Circles, Exponentials, Natural Logarithms, Radians, and Constants.Edward  Huntington (1874 – 1952) was an American mathematician. He spent his entire career at Harvard, retiring in 1941.. He was an early an advocate of mechanical calculators and had one in his office, and had an interest in statistics, unusual for the time.  He was one of the "American postulate theorists". American mathematicians active early in the 20th century (including E. H. Moore and Oswald Veblen) who proposed axiom sets for a variety of mathematical systems. In so doing, they helped found what are now known as metamathematics and model theory.Huntington was perhaps the most prolific of the American postulate theorists.  His 1902 axiomatization of the real numbers has been characterized as "one of the first successes of abstract mathematics" and as having "filled the last gap in the foundations of Euclidean geometry". (a '+b ')'+(a '+b)' = a,   is Huntington's axiom.  His algorithm for apportioning seats in the US House of Representatives has been used since 1941 and is still currently the method used .
