“{{w|Tycho Brahe}}... [i]n his unprinted manual of trigonometry... expounded the prosthaphæretic method aimed at simplifying... trigonometric computations. This method first appeared in print in 1588, in Nicolas Reimerus (Ursus)' {{w|Fundamentum astronomicum}}. It was of great value... and was going to be a direct competitor to the method of logarithms.”
