PDF Preface.
PDF A determination of the precession of the equinox, and the different motions of the earth's axis, arifing from the attraction of the sun and moon.
PDF 46A very exact method for finding the place of a planet in its orbit, from a correction of Ward's hypothesis, by means of one, or more equations, applied to the motion about the upper focus.
PDF 58A determination of the difference between the motion of a comet in an elliptic, and a parabolic orbit.
PDF 64An attempt to shew the advantage arising by taking the mean of a number of observations, in practical astronomy.
PDF 76A determination of the certain fluents, and the resolution of some very useful equations in the higher orders of fluxions; by means of the measures of angles and ratios, and the right-sines and versedsines of circular arcs.
PDF 98An investigation of a general rule for resolution of isoperimetrical problems of all orders.
PDF 107Of the reduction of algebraic equations, by the method of surd divisors; containing an explanation of the grounds of that method, as it is laid down by Sir Isaac Newton in his Universal Arithmetick.
PDF 120The resolution of some general problems in mechanics, and physical astronomy.
PDF Printed for J. Nourse the following books, all written by Mr. Thomas Simpson, F. R. S.
