A tentative reconstruction of Bürgi’s sine table at 2'' intervals (ca. 1600)
Abstract
Jost Bürgi (1552-1632) may have computed a table of sines at 2'' intervals. In order to get an idea of such a table, we have proposed a reconstruction, inspired by the 1' table found in a recently rediscovered manuscript by Bürgi.
