| The book opens by briefly recounting al-K?sh?'s biography, so as to situate readers in the work's rich historical context. His impressive status in the kingdom of Ulugh Beg is detailed, as well as his contributions to both mathematics and astronomy. As a master calculator and astronomer, al-K?sh?'s calculations of 2? and sin(1?) were by far the most accurate for almost two centuries. His law of cosines is still studied in schools today. The authenticity of this translation contributes to the understanding and appreciation of al-K?sh?'s esteemed place in the scientific world. A side-by-side presentation of the source manuscript--one of the oldest known copies--and the English translation is provided on each page. Detailed footnotes are also provided throughout, which will offer readers an even deeper look at the text's mathematical and historical basis.
