Communicated by the Rev. Nevil Maskelyne, D.D. Astronomer-Royal, F.R.S.\n\nRead February 13, 1806.\n\nHaving some years back, when reading the learned Mr. Landen's fifth Memoir, discovered the manner of applying a method of differences, to the species of series, whose sums are there obtained by the help of impossible quantities, and having since extended that application, I now venture to offer it to the consideration of others.\n\nThe practice of this method, in most cases, appears to me extremely simple; and on that account, I am almost induced to imagine, that they have already been considered by mathematicians; indeed since the greatest part of this Paper was written, I met with Euler's Institutiones Calculi integralis; two simple series are in that work summed by multiplications similar to those employed in the investigation of the principal theorems contained in this Paper; but whether that learned mathematician has farther pursued the method, in that or in any other work, I have not as yet been able to ascertain.\n\nI have purposely considered some of the series summed by Mr. Landen, to afford an opportunity of comparing both the results and methods; and because the series may have parti-\ncular cases in which both Mr. Landen's means and my own fail: I have added towards the end a general scholium concerning the cause, circumstances, and consequences of such failure in my method.\n\nThe foundation of the theorems depends on the following well known lemmas.\n\nNo. I.\n\n\\[2 \\text{sine of } vz \\cdot \\text{sine of } tz, \\text{ is equal to} \\]\n\\[ \\cos \\text{ of } t - v \\cdot z - \\cos \\text{ of } t + v \\cdot z.\\]\n\nNo. II.\n\n\\[2 \\text{sine of } vz \\cdot \\cos \\text{ of } tz, \\text{ is equal to} \\]\n\\[ \\sin \\text{ of } t + v \\cdot z - \\sin \\text{ of } t - v \\cdot z, \\text{ or} \\]\n\\[ \\sin \\text{ of } t + v \\cdot z + \\sin \\text{ of } v - t \\cdot z.\\]\n\nNo. III.\n\n\\[2 \\cos \\text{ of } vz \\cdot \\cos \\text{ of } tz, \\text{ is equal to} \\]\n\\[ \\cos \\text{ of } t - v \\cdot z + \\cos \\text{ of } t + v \\cdot z.\\]\n\nTheorem I.\n\nIf there be an infinite series \\(a \\cdot \\text{sine of } pz, + b \\cdot \\text{sine of } p+q \\cdot z,\\)\n\\[+ c \\cdot \\text{sine of } p+2q \\cdot z, + d \\cdot \\text{sine of } p+3q \\cdot z &c. = s,\\]\nand from the series \\(a, b, c, d, e, f, &c.\\) there be continually formed new series\n\n\\[\n\\begin{align*}\n\\{a, a', b', c', d', e', &c.\\} \\\\\n\\{a, a'', b'', c'', d'', e'', &c.\\} \\\\\n\\{a, a''', b''', c''', d''', e''', &c.\\} \\\\\n&c. &c. &c. &c. &c. &c. &c.\n\\end{align*}\n\\]\n\nEvery new series, being formed from that immediately above, by taking the differences of the terms, exactly in\nthe same manner as in the common differential method, except that they here continually commence with the first term, \\(a\\); and if \\(p'\\) be put \\(= p - \\frac{1}{2}q\\), \\(p'' = p' - \\frac{1}{2}q\\), \\(p''' = p'' - \\frac{1}{2}q\\), \\(p^{iv} = p''' - \\frac{1}{2}q\\) &c. \\(s\\). 2 sine of \\(\\frac{1}{2}qz = s'\\), \\(-s'\\). 2 sine of \\(\\frac{1}{2}qz = s''\\), \\(s''. 2\\) sine of \\(\\frac{1}{2}qz = s'''\\), \\(-s'''\\). 2 sine of \\(\\frac{1}{2}qz = s^{iv}\\) &c.

It is evident from Cor. II. and III. Theorem I. that if the coefficients of the sines \\((a, b, c, &c.)\\) or of the cosines \\((a', b', c', &c.)\\) be such that any order of differences taken according to the common method becomes \\(= 0\\), we shall then have the corresponding value, of the successive values of \\(s, s', s'', &c.\\) expressed in finite terms, and we shall consequently get the value of the series sought expressed in finite terms, and likewise all the intermediate values of \\(s', s'', s'''\\), &c. contained between \\(s\\) and the said corresponding successive value of \\(s\\), expressed in finite terms; hence if the values of \\(a, b, c, &c.\\) or of \\(a', b', c', &c.\\) be respectively equal to \\(\\frac{r}{t} g, \\frac{r \\cdot r + b}{t \\cdot t + b} g, \\frac{r \\cdot r + b \\cdot r + 2b}{t \\cdot t + b \\cdot t + 2b} &c.\\) \\(r, h, t\\), being all affirmative values, and \\(r - t\\) a multiple of \\(h\\), we may obtain the sum of the series.\n\nIn order to prove this, I shall put \\(r, r, r, &c.\\) to represent \\(r + h, r + 2h, r + 3h, &c.\\) \\(t, t, t, &c.\\) for \\(t + h, t + 2h, t + 3h, &c.\\)\n\nthen will the increment of \\(\\frac{rrr}{ttt} = \\frac{rr}{tt}\\)\n\n\\[\n\\frac{rr}{tt} (v \\text{ being supposed the only variable quantity})\n\\]\n\n\\[\n\\frac{r \\cdot r \\cdot r}{ttt} \\times \\frac{1}{t} = \\frac{r - t - ib}{t + ib} \\times \\frac{rr}{tt}\n\\]\n\nit is likewise evident that the \\(v + 1\\)th term of the series proposed may be expressed by \\(\\frac{rrrr}{tttt} \\cdot g, (v \\text{ being a whole positive number,})\\) this term we will call \\(T\\), therefore we have, from MDCCCVI.\nwhat has been just shown, \\( T = \\frac{r-t}{t} \\cdot g \\cdot \\frac{r}{t} \\cdot \\frac{r}{t+1} \\), \\( T = \\frac{r-t}{t} \\cdot \\frac{r-t-b}{t+b} \\cdot g \\times \\frac{r}{t} \\cdot \\frac{r}{t+2} \\), &c.\n\nand the \\( \\varepsilon \\)th increment or difference \\( = \\frac{r-t}{t} \\cdot \\frac{r-t-b}{t+b} \\cdot \\frac{r-t-2b}{t+2b} \\) &c.\n\n\\[\n\\ldots \\times \\frac{r-t-\\varepsilon-1}{t+\\varepsilon-1} \\cdot b \\cdot g \\times \\frac{r}{t} \\cdot \\frac{r}{t+\\varepsilon}\n\\]\n\nwhich, it is evident, will be equal to 0.

Hitherto we have been considering, a series of sines and cosines, whose terms have all the same signs; but if the terms of a series proposed were alternately positive and negative, it would be necessary to divide them into two series, the one of the positive term and the other of the nega-\ntive; in order to get the sum by Theorem I. But the sum of a series whose terms are alternately positive and negative, may be obtained from the sum of a similar series, whose terms are all positive by a mere substitution; thus if the sum of the series, \\(a\\) sine of \\(rz - b\\) sine of \\(r + s \\cdot z + c\\) sine of \\(r + 2s \\cdot z - \\&c.\\) were required, put \\(rz = 180^\\circ - pz\\), and \\(sz = 180^\\circ - qz\\), therefore the sine of \\(rz =\\) sine of \\(180^\\circ - pz =\\) sine of \\(pz\\), sine of \\(r + s \\cdot z =\\) sine of \\(360^\\circ - p + q \\cdot z =\\) sine of \\(p + q \\cdot z\\), sine of \\(r + 2s \\cdot z =\\) sine \\(540^\\circ - p + 2q \\cdot z =\\) sine of \\(p + 2q \\cdot z\\), &c.; and consequently the sum of the series, \\(a \\cdot\\) sine of \\(rz - b \\cdot\\) sine of \\(r + s \\cdot z + c \\cdot\\) sine of \\(r + 2s \\cdot z - \\&c.\\) = the sum of the series, \\(a \\cdot\\) sine of \\(pz + b \\cdot\\) sine of \\(p + q \\cdot z + c \\cdot\\) sine of \\(p + 2q \\cdot z \\&c.\\); and by the like substitution may the sum of a series of cosines, whose terms are alternately positive and negative, be deduced from the sum of a series of cosines, whose terms are all positive: all this requires the functional values of \\(p\\) and \\(q\\) to be distinct, otherwise the substitution cannot be effected; but the said sum may be deduced at once by the following\n\n**Theorem II.**\n\nIf there be a series, \\(a \\cdot\\) sine of \\(pz - b \\cdot\\) sine of \\(p + q \\cdot z + c \\cdot\\) sine of \\(p + 2q \\cdot z - d \\cdot\\) sine of \\(p + 3q \\cdot z \\&c.\\) = \\(s\\), then shall\n\n\\(a \\cdot\\) sine of \\(p' \\cdot z - a' \\cdot\\) sine of \\(p' + q \\cdot z + b' \\cdot\\) sine of \\(p' + 2q \\cdot z \\&c.\\) = \\(s'\\)\n\n\\(a \\cdot\\) sine of \\(p'' \\cdot z - a'' \\cdot\\) sine of \\(p'' + q \\cdot z + b'' \\cdot\\) sine of \\(p'' + 2q \\cdot z \\&c.\\) = \\(s''\\)\n\n\\(a \\cdot\\) sine of \\(p''' \\cdot z - a''' \\cdot\\) sine of \\(p''' + q \\cdot z + b''' \\cdot\\) sine of \\(p''' + 2q \\cdot z \\&c.\\) = \\(s'''\\)\n\n\\&c. \\&c. \\&c. \\&c.\nAnd if the series be,\n\n\\[ a \\cos \\text{ of } pz - b \\cos \\text{ of } p + q \\cdot z + c \\cos \\text{ of } p + 2q \\cdot z \\&c. = s, \\]\n\nthen shall,\n\n\\[ a \\cos \\text{ of } p'z - a' \\cos \\text{ of } p' + q \\cdot z + b' \\cos \\text{ of } p' + 2q \\cdot z \\&c. = s' \\]\n\\[ a \\cos \\text{ of } p''z - a'' \\cos \\text{ of } p'' + q \\cdot z + b'' \\cos \\text{ of } p'' + 2q \\cdot z \\&c. = s'' \\]\n\\[ \\&c. \\&c. \\&c. \\]\n\n\\(a', a'', a''', \\&c.\\), \\(b', b'', b'''\\), \\&c., \\(c', c'', c'''\\), \\&c., \\&c. being formed from \\(a, b, c, d, e, \\&c.\\) as in Theorem I. \\(p', p'', p'''\\), \\&c. likewise as in Theorem I. \\(s' = 2s \\cdot \\cos \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}qz\\), \\(s'' = 2s' \\cdot \\cos \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}qz\\), \\(s''' = 2s'' \\cdot \\cos \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}qz\\), \\&c.\n\nFirst, if \\(a \\sin \\text{ of } pz - b \\sin \\text{ of } p + q \\cdot z + c \\sin \\text{ of } p + q \\cdot z \\&c. = s\\), by multiplying by \\(2 \\cos \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}qz\\), by lemma No. II. we shall have \\(a \\cdot \\sin \\text{ of } p - \\frac{1}{2}q \\cdot z + a \\cdot \\sin \\text{ of } p + \\frac{1}{2}q \\cdot z - b \\cdot \\sin \\text{ of } p + \\frac{1}{2}q \\cdot z - b \\cdot \\sin \\text{ of } p + \\frac{3}{2}q \\cdot z + c \\cdot \\sin \\text{ of } p + \\frac{3}{2}q \\cdot z \\&c. = s \\cdot 2 \\cos \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}qz\\);

Though we have given two theorems, the one for a series whose terms are all positive, and the other for a series whose terms are alternately positive and negative; they are both true whatever the signs of the terms be, provided that proper signs be used in the operation; that is, if any term should have a contrary sign, to the sign of that term contained in the enunciation of the theorem used, then a contrary sign must likewise be prefixed to it in the operation; thus, for instance, if for a series whose terms are all positive we should use Theorem II. or for a series whose terms are alternately positive and negative we should use Theorem I., for $a$, $b$, $c$, $d$, &c. we must write $a$, —$b$, $c$, —$d$, &c. and therefore\n\n$a'$, $b'$, &c. = $a$, —$a + b$, $c + b$, —$d + c$, &c. (suppose) $a$, —$a$, $b$, —$c$, &c.\n\n$a''$, $b''$, &c. = $a$, —$a + a$, $b + a$, —$c + b$, &c. = —$a$, —$a$, $b$, —$c$, &c.\n\n$a'''$, $b'''$, &c. = $a$, —$a + a$, $b + a$, —$c + b$, &c. = —$a$, —$a$, $b$, —$c$, &c.\n\n&c., &c. &c. &c. &c., &c., &c. &c., &c.\nand consequently we shall get new series, the coefficients of whose terms are formed from the coefficients in the preceding series, by addition instead of subtraction; and may be of good purpose on some occasions. And if we alternately use these theorems the operation will be performed by alternately taking sums and differences; and this will amount to the same as taking the differences of the alternate terms, beginning always with two noughts: but, for the more readily comprehending this, we shall offer a theorem which moreover is the first of these theorems I discovered, but previously thereto shall propose\n\nExample 2.

merely by comparing the coefficients of the homologous powers, of \\( z, \\) in the two equations of the series above. Now if we can prove that the same expressions, derived from the comparison of the coefficients of the homologous powers of \\( z, \\) give the sum of the series \\( p^m - r \\cdot p + q^m + r \\cdot \\frac{r + 1}{2} \\cdot p + 2q^m \\) &c. whether \\( r \\) be a whole positive number\nor not, it will follow that the series, sine of \\(pz - r\\) sine of \\(\\frac{p+q}{z} + r \\cdot \\frac{r+1}{2}\\) sine of \\(\\frac{p+2q}{z}\\) &c. will be equal to \\(\\frac{\\text{sine of } p-\\frac{1}{2}qr.z}{\\cos. \\text{of } \\frac{1}{2}qz}\\), and the series, cos. of \\(pz - r\\) cos. of \\(\\frac{p+q}{z} + r \\cdot \\frac{r+1}{2}\\) cos. of \\(\\frac{p+2q}{z}\\) &c. = \\(\\frac{\\cos. \\text{of } p-\\frac{1}{2}qr.z}{\\cos. \\text{of } \\frac{1}{2}qz}\\), whether \\(r\\) be a whole positive number or not.\n\nAnd in order to prove this requisite, we shall first premise that if we have the sum of the series \\(p^m - r \\cdot \\frac{p+q}{z} + r \\cdot \\frac{r+1}{2} \\cdot \\frac{p+2q}{z} + r \\cdot \\frac{r+2}{3} \\cdot \\frac{p+3q}{z} + \\ldots\\) whatever \\(r\\) may be, (\\(m\\), \\(p\\) and \\(q\\) being given quantities) expressed by a series, \\(\\frac{1}{2^r} \\times A + Br + Cr^2 + \\ldots\\) &c. of finite terms in which the functional values of \\(p\\) and \\(r\\) are distinct, \\(A\\), \\(B\\), \\(C\\), &c. being given quantities independent of \\(r\\), we may likewise find the sum of the series \\(p^{m+1} - r \\cdot \\frac{p+q}{z} + r \\cdot \\frac{r+1}{2} \\cdot \\frac{p+2q}{z} + \\ldots\\) &c. for this series is equal to \\(p \\cdot p^m - r \\cdot \\frac{p+q}{z} + r \\cdot \\frac{r+1}{2} \\cdot \\frac{p+2q}{z} \\cdot \\frac{p+3q}{z} + \\ldots\\) &c. \\(= p \\times p^m - r \\cdot \\frac{p+q}{z} + r \\cdot \\frac{r+1}{2} \\cdot \\frac{p+2q}{z} \\cdot \\frac{p+3q}{z} + \\ldots\\) &c. but \\(p^m - r \\cdot \\frac{p+q}{z} + r \\cdot \\frac{r+1}{2} \\cdot \\frac{p+2q}{z} + \\ldots\\) &c. is equal to \\(\\frac{1}{2^r} \\times A + Br + Cr^2 + \\ldots\\) &c. and if in this we write \\(r+1\\) for \\(r\\) and \\(p+q\\) for \\(p\\), we shall have the sum of the series \\(p^{m+1} - r \\cdot \\frac{p+q}{z} + r \\cdot \\frac{r+1}{2} \\cdot \\frac{p+2q}{z} + \\ldots\\) &c. \\(= \\frac{1}{2^r+1} \\times A_{r+1} + B_{r+1} + C_{r+1}^2 + \\ldots\\) &c., \\(A\\), \\(B\\), \\(C\\), &c. standing for the values that \\(A\\), \\(B\\), \\(C\\), &c. become by writing \\(p+q\\) for \\(p\\); and this may evidently be reduced to an expression of the finite terms of the form \\(\\frac{1}{2^r} \\times A' + B'r + C'r^2 + \\ldots\\) &c. and con-\nsequently will the sum of the series \\( p^{m+1} - r \\cdot p + q \\mid^{m+1} + r \\cdot \\frac{r+1}{2} \\cdot p + 2q \\mid^{m+1} \\) &c. be = the expression \\( \\frac{1}{z^r} \\times (pA + pBr + pCr^a + \\ldots - qA'r - qB'r^a + \\ldots) \\) of finite terms. This being proved, it follows, because the sum of the series \\( p^m - r \\cdot p + q \\mid^m + r \\cdot \\frac{r+1}{2} \\cdot p + 2q \\mid^m \\) &c. when \\( m \\) is equal to 0, is equal to \\( 1 - r + r \\cdot \\frac{r+1}{2} \\) &c., by the binomial theorem, \\( \\frac{1}{z^r} \\), whatever \\( r \\) may be, that the sum of the series \\( p - r \\cdot p + q + r \\cdot \\frac{r+1}{2} \\cdot p + 2q \\) &c. namely, the said series when \\( m \\) is equal to 1, may be expressed by \\( \\frac{1}{z^r} \\times \\) a series of pure powers of \\( r \\) of a finite number of terms whatever \\( r \\) may be, and comes out by the bye \\( \\frac{1}{z^r} \\times p - \\frac{1}{2}qr \\), the same as above, and consequently by writing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, &c. one after the other for, \\( m \\), we shall find that the sum of the series \\( p^m - r \\cdot p + q \\mid^m + r \\cdot \\frac{r+1}{2} \\cdot p + 2q \\mid^m \\) &c. may always be expressed by \\( \\frac{1}{z^r} \\) multiplied by a series of finite terms in the form \\( A + Br + Cr^a + \\ldots \\) &c. \\( A, B, C, \\ldots \\) \\( p, q, m, \\ldots \\) &c. being independent of \\( r \\); and \\( m \\) a whole positive number. And these will, we shall prove without running through all the infinite cases, be the very same expressions as those given above, by comparing the coefficients of the homologous powers of \\( z \\). In order to this we observe, since we have just proved that the sum of the said series, whatever \\( r \\) may be, may be expressed by \\( \\frac{1}{z^r} \\times \\) series \\( A + Br + Cr^a + \\ldots \\) &c. of a finite number of terms, and from the comparison of the homologous powers, that when \\( r \\) is a whole number it may be expressed by \\( \\frac{1}{z^r} \\times \\) value \\( a + br + cr^a + \\ldots \\) &c. of a finite number of terms, it follows that when \\( r \\) is any\nwhole number, that these two values must then be equal to each other, and \\(\\therefore\\) that \\(A + Br^2 + Cr^3\\) &c. containing a finite number of terms must be then equal to \\(a + br + cr^2\\) &c. containing a finite number of terms, and consequently the highest power of \\(r\\) and its coefficient must be the same in both series, otherwise by increasing \\(r\\) by the same in both, one side of the equation would become greater than the other, which is absurd; consequently the highest power of \\(r\\) and its coefficient is the same in both, and will destroy each other, and consequently the next highest powers of \\(r\\) and likewise their coefficients must be the same with each other, and will therefore be destroyed, &c. Hence the powers of \\(r\\) and their respective coefficients being the same in both, the expressions themselves must be the same in every respect, whether \\(r\\) be a whole number or not.\n\nHence we have not only given two different means of summing the series \\(p^m - r \\cdot p + q^m\\) &c. (\\(m\\) being a whole positive number) whatever \\(r\\) may be, which indeed was not our chief object, but we have likewise proved that the series sine of \\(pz - r\\) sine of \\(p + q \\cdot z\\) &c. \\(= \\frac{\\text{sine of } p - \\frac{1}{2}qr \\cdot z}{\\cos. \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}qz}\\), and the series cos. of \\(pz - r\\) cos. of \\(p + q \\cdot z\\) &c. \\(= \\frac{\\cos. \\text{ of } p - \\frac{1}{2}qr \\cdot z}{\\cos. \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}qz}\\), whatever \\(r\\) may be, the same as Landen finds.\n\nCor. II. Because these two series are equally true, whatever \\(p\\) may be, if for \\(p\\) we write \\(qr - p\\) throughout, in the first we shall have, sine of \\(qr - p \\cdot z - r\\) sine of \\(r + 1 \\cdot q - p \\cdot z + r \\cdot \\frac{r + 1}{2}\\)\n\nsine of \\(r + 2 \\cdot q - p \\cdot z\\) &c. \\(= \\frac{\\text{sine of } \\frac{1}{2}qr - pz}{\\cos. \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}qz}\\) \\(= \\frac{\\text{sine of } p - \\frac{1}{2}qr \\cdot z}{\\cos. \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}qz}\\).\n\nConsequently sine of \\(qr - p \\cdot z - r\\) sine of \\(r + 1 \\cdot q - p \\cdot z\\) &c.\nby a Method of Differences.\n\n\\[ = - \\text{sine of } pz + r \\text{sine of } p + q.z - , \\&c. \\text{ and from cos. of } \\]\n\\[ pz - r \\cos. \\text{ of } p + q.z, \\&c. = \\frac{\\cos. \\text{ of } p - \\frac{1}{2}qr.z}{2 \\cos. \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}qz} \\]\n\nby the like substitution we get cos. of \\( qr - p.z - r \\cos. \\text{ of } r + 1.q - p.z + r. \\)\n\\[ \\frac{r+1}{2} \\cos. \\text{ of } r + 2.q - p.z \\&c. = \\left( \\frac{\\cos. \\text{ of } \\frac{3}{2}qr - p.z}{2 \\cos. \\text{ of } \\frac{3}{2}qz} \\right) = \\left( \\frac{\\cos. \\text{ of } p - \\frac{1}{2}qr.z}{2 \\cos. \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}qz} \\right) \\]\n\ncos. of \\( pz - r \\cos. \\text{ of } p + q.z + r. \\frac{r+1}{2} \\cos. \\text{ of } p + 2q.z \\&c. \\)\n\nand these by Cor. i. are true, whatever \\( r \\) may be.\n\nCor. iii.

If \\( rx \\) and \\( ry \\) be both multiples of the whole circumference the said two values will be equal to 0.\n\nExample 2. Because (from Cor. 1. Example 2. Theorem II.)\n\nwe have sine of \\( pz - r \\) sine of \\( p + q \\cdot z + r \\cdot \\frac{r+1}{2} \\) sine of \\( p + 2q \\cdot z \\text{ &c.} = \\frac{\\text{sine of } p - \\frac{1}{2}qr \\cdot z}{2 \\cos \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}qz} \\), we have by this theorem case 1, cos.\n\nof \\( px \\cdot \\text{sine of } py - r \\cos \\text{ of } p + q \\cdot x \\cdot \\text{sine of } p + q \\cdot y + r \\cdot \\frac{r+1}{2} \\cos \\text{ of } p + 2q \\cdot x \\cdot \\text{sine of } p + 2q \\cdot y \\text{ &c.} = \\frac{\\text{sine of } p - \\frac{1}{2}qr \\cdot x + y}{2 \\cdot 2 \\cos \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}q \\cdot x + y}. \\)\n\nAnd because by the same cos. of \\( pz - r \\)\n\ncos. of \\( p + q \\cdot z + r \\cdot \\frac{r+1}{2} \\) cos. of \\( p + 2q \\cdot z \\text{ &c.} = \\frac{\\cos \\text{ of } p - \\frac{1}{2}qr \\cdot z}{2 \\cos \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}qz} \\),\n\nwe have by case 2 of this theorem cos. of \\( px \\cdot \\cos \\text{ of } py - r \\)\n\ncos. of \\( p + q \\cdot x \\cdot \\cos \\text{ of } p + q \\cdot y + r \\cdot \\frac{r+1}{2} \\cos \\text{ of } p + 2q \\cdot x \\cdot \\cos \\text{ of } p + 2q \\cdot y \\text{ &c.} = \\frac{\\cos \\text{ of } p - \\frac{1}{2}qr \\cdot x - y}{2 \\cdot 2 \\cos \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}q \\cdot x - y} + \\frac{\\cos \\text{ of } p - \\frac{1}{2}qr \\cdot x + y}{2 \\cdot 2 \\cos \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}q \\cdot x + y} \\)\n\nand sine of \\( px \\cdot \\text{sine of } py - r \\sin \\text{ of } p + q \\cdot x \\cdot \\text{sine of } p + q \\cdot y + \\text{ &c.} = \\frac{\\cos \\text{ of } p - \\frac{1}{2}qr \\cdot x - y}{2 \\cdot 2 \\cos \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}q \\cdot x - y} - \\frac{\\cos \\text{ of } p - \\frac{1}{2}qr \\cdot x + y}{2 \\cdot 2 \\cos \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}q \\cdot x + y}. \\)\nCor. If in these we either put \\( qr - p \\) or \\( \\frac{1}{2}qr \\) in the place of \\( p \\), we shall get theorems for the rectangles of sine and cosines, rectangles of cosines and the rectangles of sines similar to those of Cor. II. and III. (respectively) Example 2. Theorem II. for the simple sines and cosines.\n\nGeneral Scholium.\n\nIt is necessary to observe, that there may be particular cases, in the summation of which these methods fail, and which, if not properly considered, may lead to great error, especially when new series are derived from those containing failing cases, by multiplying by fluxions, and finding the fluents of the expressions thence arising. For if the correction should happen to be sought from any of the failing cases, the summation of the new series might not only fail in the failing case of the primary expression, but in every other.\n\nFrom Example 1. Theorem I. we have sine of \\( pz + \\) sine of \\( p + q \\cdot z + \\) sine of \\( p + 2q \\cdot z \\) &c. \\( = \\frac{\\cos. of p - \\frac{1}{2}q \\cdot z}{2 \\sin e of \\frac{1}{2}qz} \\); this when \\( z = 0 \\), will be sine of \\( 0 + \\) sine of \\( 0 + \\) sine of \\( 0 \\) &c. or \\( 0 + 0 + 0 \\) &c. \\( = \\frac{\\cos. of 0}{2 \\sin e of 0} = \\frac{1}{2 \\sin e of 0} \\); that is the sum of a series of noughts infinite, which is absurd. Again, in Example 2. Theorem I. Cor. I. \\( \\cos. of nz + \\cos. of 3nz + \\cos. of 5nz \\) &c. \\( = 0 \\), therefore if \\( z \\) be taken \\( = 0 \\) it will be \\( 1 + 1 + 1 \\) &c. \\( = 0 \\) which ought to be infinite, and in Cor. II. \\( z \\) being \\( = 0 \\) we have \\( 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 \\) &c. \\( = -\\frac{1}{2} \\).\n\nIn order to explain the reason of these absurdities, and to prevent the errors they may produce, it is necessary to con-\nsider the subject more minutely, to which purpose Scholium II. at the end of Theorem IV. will afford great assistance: from that it appears, that the sum of the $r$ first terms of the series $\\cos \\text{ of } nz + \\cos \\text{ of } n + q.z + \\cos \\text{ of } n + 2q.z \\&c.$\n\n$$= \\frac{\\sin \\text{ of } n + r - \\frac{1}{2}q.z - \\sin \\text{ of } n - \\frac{1}{2}q.z}{\\sin \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}q.z};$$\n\nand by similar means that the sum of the $r$ first terms of the series $\\sin \\text{ of } nz + \\sin \\text{ of } n + q.z + \\sin \\text{ of } n + 2q.z + \\&c.$\n\n$$= \\frac{-\\cos \\text{ of } n + r - \\frac{1}{2}q.z + \\cos \\text{ of } n - \\frac{1}{2}q.z}{\\sin \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}q.z};$$\n\nnow it is plain that if $qz$ were either equal to $0$ or a multiple of $360^\\circ$, $\\sin \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}q.z$ would be equal to $0$, and because $r$ is a whole number, $rqz$ would either be equal to $0$ or a multiple of $360^\\circ$, and consequently the $\\sin \\text{ of } n + r - \\frac{1}{2}q.z = \\sin \\text{ of } n - \\frac{1}{2}q.z$ and the cosine of $n + r - \\frac{1}{2}q.z = \\cos \\text{ of } n - \\frac{1}{2}q.z$, and therefore the sum of the series, $\\cos \\text{ of } nz + \\cos \\text{ of } n + q.z \\&c.$ (when $qz = 0$ or some multiple of $360^\\circ$)\n\n$$= \\frac{\\sin \\text{ of } n - \\frac{1}{2}q.z - \\sin \\text{ of } n - \\frac{1}{2}q.z}{0},$$\n\nand of $\\sin \\text{ of } nz + \\sin \\text{ of } n + q.z \\&c. = 0$ whatever $r$ may, whether finite or infinite.\n\nIndeed the determining the value of $\\frac{a}{b}$, depends on the value of $r$; but if $qz$ be any thing but $0$ or a multiple of $360^\\circ$, the value of the sine or cosine of $n + r - \\frac{1}{2}q.z$ will depend on the value of $r$, and may then be varied from positive to negative and from negative to positive, by merely increasing $r$, and consequently when $r$ is infinite, there being no reason for its being positive rather than negative, or negative rather than positive it should be considered $0$; and therefore the sum of the infinite series, $\\cos \\text{ of } nz + \\cos \\text{ of } n + q.z \\&c.$\n\n$$= \\frac{\\sin \\text{ of } n - \\frac{1}{2}q.z}{\\sin \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}q.z}$$\n\nand of $\\sin \\text{ of } nz + \\sin \\text{ of } n + q.z \\&c. =$\ncos. of \\( n - \\frac{1}{2}q.z \\) in every case, (the same as in Example to Theorem I.) except when \\( qz = 0 \\) or some multiple of \\( 360^\\circ \\); on account of there being something else to be taken into consideration, in that case. Again, it appears by Example 2 of the said scholium, that the sum of the \\( r \\) first terms of the series,\n\n\\[\n\\cos. \\text{ of } nz - \\cos. \\text{ of } n + q.z + \\cos. \\text{ of } n + 2q.z - \\&c. =\n\\]\n\n\\[\n\\frac{\\cos. \\text{ of } n - \\frac{1}{2}q.z \\pm \\cos. \\text{ of } n + r - \\frac{1}{2}q.z}{2 \\cos. \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}qz},\n\\]\n\nthe upper or under sine to be taken according as \\( r \\) is odd or even. And by similar means\n\nthe sum of the \\( r \\) first terms of the series, sine of \\( nz - \\sin. \\text{ of } n + q.z + \\sin. \\text{ of } n + 2q.z - \\sin. \\text{ of } n + 3q.z \\&c. \\) is found =\n\n\\[\n\\frac{\\sin. \\text{ of } n - \\frac{1}{2}q.z \\pm \\sin. \\text{ of } n + r - \\frac{1}{2}q.z}{2 \\cos. \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}qz},\n\\]\n\nthe upper sign to be taken if \\( r \\) is odd but the under if even. Here if \\( qz = 180^\\circ \\), or any odd multiple thereof, the cosine of \\( \\frac{1}{2}qz \\) will be \\( = 0 \\); and if \\( r \\) be even at the same time the cos. of \\( n + r - \\frac{1}{2}q.z \\) will be equal to the cosine of \\( n - \\frac{1}{2}q.z \\) and the sine of \\( n + r - \\frac{1}{2}q.z = \\sin. \\text{ of } n - \\frac{1}{2}qz \\); but if \\( r \\) be odd we shall have the cos. of \\( n + r - \\frac{1}{2}q.z = - \\cos. \\text{ of } n - \\frac{1}{2}q.z \\) and sine of \\( n + r - \\frac{1}{2}q.z = - \\sin. \\text{ of } r - \\frac{1}{2}q.z \\); consequently by substituting these values in the above expressions for the sum, due regard being had to the signs, we shall find that, whatever \\( r \\) be, the sum of either series will be expressed by \\( 0 \\): but if \\( z \\) be any other value it appears that \\( \\pm \\) the sine or cosine of \\( n + r - \\frac{1}{2}q.z \\) depends on the value of \\( r \\), and may be either positive or negative, by varying \\( r \\); and consequently should as above when \\( r \\) is infinite be considered \\( = 0 \\). And the sum of the series, sine of\n\\( nz - \\) sine of \\( n + q.z + \\&c. \\) will be \\( = \\frac{\\text{sine of } n - \\frac{1}{2}q.z}{2 \\cos. \\text{of } \\frac{1}{2}qz} \\), and of cos. of \\( nz - \\) cos. of \\( n + q.z + \\&c. = \\frac{\\text{cos. of } n - \\frac{1}{2}q.z}{2 \\cos. \\text{of } \\frac{1}{2}qz} \\), as in Example 1,\n\nTheorem II. except when \\( qz = \\) some odd multiple of \\( 180^\\circ \\), something else being in that case to be taken into consideration; and thus are we to reason, in the failing cases of other expressions: but by the common rules for finding the value of an expression when the denominator and numerator vanish, we may find the value even in the failing cases; thus by dividing the fluxion of the numerator by the fluxion of the denominator in the expressions \\( = \\frac{\\text{cos. of } n + r - \\frac{1}{2}q.z + \\text{cos. of } n - \\frac{1}{2}q.z}{2 \\text{sine of } \\frac{1}{2}qz} \\)\n\nand \\( \\frac{\\text{sine of } n + r - \\frac{1}{2}q.z - \\text{sine of } n - \\frac{1}{2}q.z}{2 \\text{sine of } \\frac{1}{2}qz} \\), and then making \\( qz = 0 \\), or some multiple of \\( 360^\\circ \\), we shall get simply, 0 for the sum of the \\( r \\) first terms of the series sine of \\( nz + \\) sine of \\( n + q.z + \\&c. \\), and \\( r \\) for the sum of the \\( r \\) first terms of the series cos. of \\( nz + \\) cos. of \\( n + q.z + \\&c. \\) when \\( z = 0 \\) or some multiple of \\( 360^\\circ \\), that is, 0 for the sum of the \\( r \\) first terms of the series, \\( 0 + 0 + 0 \\&c. \\) and \\( r \\) for the sum of the \\( r \\) first terms of the series, \\( 1 + 1 + 1 \\&c. \\) which is self-evident. And thus may we proceed in other expressions when the sum of \\( r \\) terms can be obtained by a general value.\n\nThat these things should happen as above described, is likewise evident, from the investigations of the theorems; for in Theorem I. for instance, we have \\( s\\pi = \\pm 2 \\text{sine of } \\frac{1}{2}qz|\\pi - 1 \\) or \\( \\pm s . 2 \\text{sine of } \\frac{1}{2}qz|\\pi \\), \\( \\pi \\) being a positive whole number; therefore if the sine of \\( \\frac{1}{2}qz \\) be = 0, which will happen when \\( qz = 0 \\) or some multiple of \\( 360^\\circ \\), it is plain that we should have\n$s^\\pi = \\pm s^2 \\times o$, or $\\pm s \\times o$, and consequently $s^\\pi$ ought likewise to come out equal to $o$, and therefore $s$, would be $= \\frac{o}{o}$; and consequently when $s^\\pi$ in that case does not come out $= o$, it is certain that there must have been something neglected: and to shew how this may happen, we observe that since Theorem I. and II. require the differences of the coefficients of every term and the next succeeding term to be taken, it is evident that the last term will have nothing to be taken from, and will consequently remain through every new series; in consequence of which there will be terms of the form $\\Delta \\cdot \\text{sine}$ or cosine of $\\varpi + qr.z$, (in which $r$ is a whole number and infinite, the number of terms of the series being infinite,) whose coefficient $\\Delta$ will never be $= o$ unless the series $a, b, c, \\&c.$ be converging: these terms are unavoidably omitted, by reason of their place being at an infinite distance, and can consequently never be arrived at; but still unless it be equal to $o$, it should not be omitted; which it cannot be unless, either in the above mentioned circumstance of the series $a, b, c, \\&c.$ being converging, or when the terms of the series of sines or cosines, are continually changing their signs, for different values of $r$; which it will always do when $qz$ is not equal to $o$ or some multiple of $360^\\circ$; provided the coefficients $a, b, c, \\&c.$ are all affirmative: and consequently the said terms may be omitted in every such case, there being no reason for taking one sign rather than the other: but if $qz$ were equal to $o$ or some multiple of $360^\\circ$, since $\\Delta \\cdot \\text{sine}$ or cosine of $\\varpi + qr.z$ will then be simply $\\Delta \\cdot \\text{sine}$ or $\\text{cos.}$ of $pz$, and therefore if the same sign whatever $r$ may be, when $a, b, c, d, \\&c.$ $---$ to $\\Delta$, have all the same signs; and consequently cannot\nbe then neglected unless in the case above mentioned of \\(a, b, c, \\&c.\\) being converging, in which circumstance it will have no failing case: but had the coefficients \\(a, b, c, d, \\&c.\\) been alternately \\(+\\) and \\(-\\), the failing case would not happen when \\(qz = 0\\) or a multiple of \\(360^\\circ\\), for then there being no reason for taking \\(\\Delta\\) of one sign rather than the other, it should therefore be taking equal to \\(0\\); but it will happen when sine or cos. of \\(w + qr.z\\) is alternately positive and negative, by continually increasing \\(r\\) by 1: for then the coefficients of the terms of the form, sine or cos. of \\(w + qr.z\\) being alternately positive and negative; and likewise the terms themselves alternately positive and negative, the whole values resulting from them will have the same determinate sign, and this will be when \\(qz = 180^\\circ\\) or some multiple thereof. And if \\(a, b, c, d, \\&c.\\) be positive and negative according to some other law, the failing cases may be found by the like reasoning; which is likewise applicable to the other theorems.\n\nThese remarks pave the way to the correction of fluents necessary in the application of the doctrine of fluxions to these series.\n\n1. In Example 2, Theorem I. if for \\(nz\\) we write \\(k + z\\), and for, \\(q\\) we write 1, we shall have cos. of \\(k + z +\\) cos. of \\(k + 2z\\) \\(+ \\cos. of k + 3z \\&c. = - \\frac{\\text{sine of } k + \\frac{1}{2}z}{2 \\text{sine of } \\frac{1}{2}z} = - \\text{sine of } k. \\frac{\\cos. of \\frac{1}{2}z}{2 \\text{sine of } \\frac{1}{2}z}\\)\n\n\\[\n\\frac{\\cos. of k. \\text{sine of } \\frac{1}{2}z}{2 \\text{sine of } \\frac{1}{2}z} = \\frac{\\text{sine of } k. \\cos. of \\frac{1}{2}z}{2 \\text{sine of } \\frac{1}{2}z} = \\frac{\\cos. of k}{2}.\n\\]\n\nMultiply both sides by \\(z\\), and find the consequent fluents, and we shall have sine of \\(k + z +\\) \\(\\frac{\\text{sine of } k + zz}{2} + \\frac{\\text{sine of } k + 3z}{3} \\&c. = \\text{fluent of } \\left[- \\frac{z}{2} \\text{sine of } k. \\frac{\\cos. of \\frac{1}{2}z}{\\text{sine of } \\frac{1}{2}z} - \\frac{\\cos. of k}{2} z \\right]\\), which because \\(\\frac{z}{2} \\cos. of\\)\nby a Method of Differences.\n\n$\\frac{1}{2}z$, is equal to the fluxion of sine of $\\frac{1}{2}z$, is equal to the fluent of $[\\text{sine of } k \\cdot \\frac{\\text{fluxion of sine of } \\frac{1}{2}z}{\\text{sine of } \\frac{1}{2}z} - \\frac{\\cos \\text{ of } k}{2} \\cdot \\dot{z}] = - \\text{sine of } k$.\n\nlog. sine of $\\frac{1}{2}z - \\frac{\\cos \\text{ of } k}{2} \\cdot \\dot{z} + \\text{a correction}$: now this correction must not be sought when $z = 0$ or a multiple of $360^\\circ$: for in that case from what has been just now said, the primary equation fails, or rather there is a supplemental value only then to be prefixed; therefore the easiest method which offers, is when $z = 180^\\circ$, we then have the sine of $k + z = -k$, sine of $k + 2z = \\text{sine of } k$, sine of $k + 3z = - \\text{sine of } k$ &c. and sine of $\\frac{1}{2}z = 1$, consequently putting $Q$ for $\\frac{1}{4}$ of the periphery of a circle whose radius one, the expression will become $- \\text{sine } k + \\frac{\\text{sine of } k}{2} - \\frac{\\text{sine of } k}{3} + \\frac{\\text{sine of } k}{4} &c.$ or sine of $k \\times \\log. \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2} = - \\cos \\text{ of } k \\cdot Q + \\text{correction}$. $\\therefore$ correction $= \\text{sine of } k \\cdot \\log. \\text{ of } 2 + \\cos \\text{ of } k \\cdot Q$, which correction being prefixed we have,\n\n$\\text{sine of } k + \\frac{\\text{sine of } k + zz}{2} + \\frac{\\text{sine of } k + 3z}{3} &c. = \\text{sine of } k \\times \\log. \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{z} \\text{sine of } \\frac{1}{2}z + Q - \\frac{z}{2} \\times \\cos \\text{ of } k$: which is only true whilst $z$ is between $0$ and $360^\\circ$; for though our primary equation fails only when $z$ is $0$ or some multiple of $360^\\circ$, and is true in every other case, whatever $z$ may be, whether more or less than $360^\\circ$; still it cannot be so in this derivative equation: for suppose $K$ to be the said supplemental value, which is equal to $0$ in every other case but that mentioned above, the derivative expression, will in that case contain the supplement, the fluent of $K \\cdot \\dot{z}$ producing a correction which will remain when it is once introduced, though $K$ may afterwards vanish, namely, when $z$ becomes neither $0$, nor any multiple of $360^\\circ$.\nand therefore every time \\( z \\) becomes, by flowing, any multiple of \\( 360^\\circ \\); \\( K \\) being introduced, it will introduce an additional correction, which will remain afterwards.\n\nIf this equation be multiplied by \\( \\dot{z} \\) and the fluent be again taken, we shall have\n\n\\[\n\\frac{\\cos \\text{ of } k + z}{1} + \\frac{\\cos \\text{ of } k + 2z}{4} + \\frac{\\cos \\text{ of } k + 3z}{9} &c.\n\\]\n\n\\( = - \\text{ fluent of } [\\sin \\text{ of } k \\cdot \\dot{z} \\log \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2 \\sin \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}z} + Q - \\frac{z}{2} \\cdot \\dot{z} \\cos \\text{ of } k] \\)\n\nwhich fluent is easily found by infinite series, but if \\( k \\) be \\( = 0 \\) we shall have \\( \\cos \\text{ of } k = 1 \\), and the fluent \\( = Qz - \\frac{z^2}{4} \\) independent of the correction, that is \\( \\cos \\text{ of } z + \\frac{\\cos \\text{ of } 2z}{2^2} + \\frac{\\cos \\text{ of } 3z}{3^2} &c. = A - Qz + \\frac{z^2}{4} \\), \\( A \\) standing for the correction:\n\nif \\( z \\) be \\( = \\) to the arc of \\( 90^\\circ \\) or \\( Q \\), we shall have \\( \\cos \\text{ of } z = 0 \\), \\( \\cos \\text{ of } 2z = -1 \\), \\( \\cos \\text{ of } 3z = 0 \\), \\( \\cos \\text{ of } 4z = 1 &c. \\) therefore we shall have by substitution \\( -\\frac{1}{2^2} + \\frac{1}{4^2} - \\frac{1}{6^2} + \\frac{1}{8^2} &c. = A - Q^2 + \\frac{Q^2}{4} = A - \\frac{3}{4} Q^2 \\), but if in the equation \\( z \\) be taken \\( = 180^\\circ \\) or \\( 2Q \\), we shall have \\( \\cos \\text{ of } z = -1 \\), \\( \\cos \\text{ of } 2z = +1 \\), \\( \\cos \\text{ of } 3z = -1 \\), &c. &c. \\( \\therefore -1 + \\frac{1}{2^2} - \\frac{1}{3^2} + &c. = A - 2Q^2 + Q^2 \\) or \\( A - Q^2 \\), which series being the same as the other series when multiplied by 4, we have \\( A - Q^2 = 4A - 3Q^2 \\). \\( \\therefore A = \\frac{2}{3} Q^2 \\). \\( \\therefore 1 - \\frac{1}{2^2} + \\frac{1}{3^2} - &c. = Q^2 - A = \\frac{Q^2}{3} \\),\n\nand \\( \\cos \\text{ of } z + \\frac{\\cos \\text{ of } 2z}{4} + \\frac{\\cos \\text{ of } 3z}{9} &c. = \\frac{2}{3} Q^2 - Qz + \\frac{z^2}{4} \\).\n\nIt is remarkable that this equation is true, not only when the equation from which it is derived is true, but likewise when \\( z = 0 \\) or \\( 360^\\circ \\) in which that fails, and that the correction might have been sought in those cases had this circumstance been known. Multiply this again by \\( \\dot{z} \\), and find the fluent, and we\nhave sine of \\( z + \\frac{\\text{sine of } 2z}{8} + \\frac{\\text{sine of } 3z}{3^3} \\&c. = \\frac{2}{3} Q^2z - \\frac{Qz^2}{2} + \\frac{z^3}{12} \\)\n\nand this requires no correction whilst \\( z \\) is from 0 to 360 inclusively of both; this is evident at first sight, as we are not now obliged as before to avoid correcting when \\( z = 0 \\) or 360°, as the equation from which this is derived does not fail in those cases.\n\n2. If in the equation sine of \\( nz - \\text{sine of } n + q.z + \\text{sine of } n + 3qz - \\&c. = \\frac{\\text{sine of } n - \\frac{1}{2}qz}{2 \\cos. \\text{of } \\frac{1}{2}qz} \\), failing when \\( qz = 180° \\) or an odd multiple thereof, we put \\( n = 1, q = 2 \\) we have sine of \\( z - \\text{sine of } 3z + \\text{sine of } 5z + \\&c. = 0 \\), failing when \\( z = 90° \\) or any odd multiple thereof; if we multiply this by \\( z \\) and find the fluent we shall have \\( \\cos. \\text{of } z - \\frac{\\cos. \\text{of } 3z}{3} + \\frac{\\cos. \\text{of } 5z}{5} - \\&c. = \\text{correction, which must not be sought when } z = 90°, \\text{ or odd multiple thereof}; if it be sought when \\( z = 0 \\), we shall have it \\( = 1 - \\frac{1}{3} + \\frac{1}{5} \\&c. = \\frac{1}{2} Q \\), which will answer whilst \\( z \\) is exclusively from \\(-90°\\) to \\(+90°\\). If the correction had been sought when \\( z = 180° \\) we should have it \\( = -1 + \\frac{1}{3} - \\frac{1}{5} \\&c. = -\\frac{1}{2} Q \\), answering whilst \\( z \\) is from \\(90°\\) to \\(270°\\).\n\n3. Again, from Cor. I. Example 2. Theorem I. \\( \\cos. \\text{of } z + \\cos. \\text{of } 3z + \\cos. \\text{of } 5z + \\&c. \\) is equal to 0, failing (from above) when \\( qz = 0 \\) or a multiple of 360°, and therefore when \\( z = 0 \\) or a multiple of 180°: if we multiply by the \\( z \\) and take the fluent we have \\( \\text{sine of } z + \\frac{\\text{sine of } 3z}{3} + \\frac{\\text{sine of } 5z}{5} \\&c. = \\text{correction, which should not be sought when } z = 0 \\text{ or any multiple of } 180°, \\text{ when } z = 90° \\text{ it becomes } \\text{sine of } 90° + \\frac{\\text{sine of } 3 \\times 90°}{3} + \\frac{\\text{sine of } 5 \\times 90°}{5} \\&c. \\text{ that is } 1 - \\frac{1}{3} + \\frac{1}{5} \\&c. \\text{ or its equal } \\frac{Q}{2} \\text{ for the }\ncorrection, the same as Landen finds, this is true whilst \\( z \\) is exclusively between 0 and 180°.\n\n4. In Cor. II. Example 1. Theorem I. \\( p \\) being = 1 we have sine of \\( z + \\) sine of \\( 3z + \\) sine of \\( 5z \\) &c. \\( = \\frac{1}{2} \\) sine of \\( z \\) failing (from above) when \\( qz \\) or \\( 2z = 0 \\), or a multiple of 360°, and therefore when \\( z = 0 \\), or a multiple of 180°; if we multiply this by \\( \\dot{z} \\) and find the fluent we have, because \\( \\frac{\\dot{z}}{2 \\text{sine of } z} \\) (by putting \\( y \\) for the sine of \\( z \\)) \\( = \\frac{y^{-1} \\dot{y}}{2 \\sqrt{1-y^2}} = \\frac{y^{-2} \\dot{y}}{2 \\sqrt{y^2-1}} = -\\frac{\\dot{x}}{2 \\sqrt{x^2-1}} \\)\n\n\\( x \\) being put for \\( \\frac{1}{y} \\) whose fluent is \\( = -\\frac{1}{2} \\log. \\text{of } x + \\sqrt{x^2-1} \\)\n\n\\( = -\\frac{1}{2} \\log. \\text{of } \\frac{1+\\sqrt{1-y^2}}{y} \\), consequently cos. of \\( z + \\frac{\\cos. \\text{of } 3z}{3} + \\frac{\\cos. \\text{of } 5z}{5} = \\frac{1}{2} \\log. \\text{of } \\frac{1+\\sqrt{1-y^2}}{y} + \\text{correction, which being sought} \\)\n\nwhen \\( z = 90° \\) and consequently \\( y = 1 \\) and the cosines of \\( z \\), of \\( 3z \\), of \\( 5z \\), &c. = 0, we have it equal to 0; and this has no failing case since it will not fail when \\( z = 0 \\) or any multiple of 180° in which primitive equation does. If \\( z \\) be = 45° we shall have\n\ncos. of \\( z = \\sqrt{\\frac{1}{2}}, \\) cos. of \\( 3z = -\\sqrt{\\frac{1}{2}}, \\) cos. of \\( 5z = -\\sqrt{\\frac{1}{2}}, \\)\n\ncos. of \\( 7z = +\\sqrt{\\frac{1}{2}}, \\) cos. of \\( 9z = +\\sqrt{\\frac{1}{2}}, \\) &c. therefore \\( \\sqrt{\\frac{1}{2}} \\)\n\n\\( x : 1 - \\frac{1}{3} - \\frac{1}{5} + \\frac{1}{7} + \\frac{1}{9} - \\&c. \\text{or } \\sqrt{\\frac{1}{2}} \\times 1 - \\frac{8}{3.5} + \\frac{16}{7.9} - \\frac{24}{11.13} \\)\n\n&c. \\( = \\frac{1}{2} \\log. \\text{of } \\frac{1+\\sqrt{\\frac{1}{2}}}{\\sqrt{\\frac{1}{2}}} \\cdots 1 - \\frac{8}{3.5} + \\frac{16}{7.9} \\&c. = \\sqrt{\\frac{1}{2}} \\cdot \\log. \\text{of } \\frac{1+\\sqrt{\\frac{1}{2}}}{\\sqrt{\\frac{1}{2}}} = \\sqrt{\\frac{1}{2}} \\log. \\text{of } \\sqrt{2} + 1 \\cdots \\frac{1}{3.5} - \\frac{2}{7.9} + \\frac{3}{11.13} \\&c. = \\frac{1}{8} - \\frac{\\sqrt{\\frac{1}{2}}}{8} \\log. \\text{of } \\sqrt{2} + 1.\n\n5. By Theorem I. Example 6, we have the sum of the series sine of \\( pz + g \\) sine of \\( p + q \\cdot z + g^2 \\) sine of \\( p + 2q \\cdot z + \\&c. \\)\nby a Method of Differences.\n\n\\[ \\frac{-g \\sin(p-q)z + \\sin(pz)}{g^2 + 1 - zg \\cos(qz)}, \\] if this should have a failing case, it will be, by this scholium, when \\( qz = 0 \\) or some multiple of \\( 360^\\circ \\) provided \\( g \\) be affirmative; but if \\( g \\) be negative, it will be when \\( qz \\) is some odd multiple of \\( 180^\\circ \\); a similar expression to this is given by Mr. Landen by his method.\n\nIf \\( p \\) be \\( q = 1 \\) we shall have, sine of \\( z + g \\sin(2z + g^2 \\sin(3z) &c. = \\frac{\\sin(z)}{g^2 + 1 - zg \\cos(z)}, \\) if we now multiply by \\( z \\) calling the cosine of \\( z, x \\) and find the fluent, we shall have\n\n\\[ \\cos(z + \\frac{g \\cos(2z)}{z} + \\frac{g^2 \\cos(3z)}{3} &c. = \\frac{1}{2g} \\log(1 + g^2 - 2gz) \\]\n\nwhich has no failing case.\n\n6. According to this General Scholium, Example 2. to Theorem II. has failing cases in the investigation, unless the series \\( 1, r, r + \\frac{r+1}{2} &c. \\) converge; thus those in the Corollaries I. II. and III. when \\( qz \\) is any odd multiple of \\( 180^\\circ \\). By bringing both series to one side in the equations in Cor. II. we have\n\n\\[ \\sin(qr - p.z + \\sin(pz - r \\times \\sin(q.r + 1 - p.z + \\sin(p + q.z + &c. = 0, \\text{ and } \\cos(qr - p.z - \\cos(pz - r \\times \\cos(q.r + 1 - p.z - \\cos(p + q.z + &c. = 0. \\]\n\nMultiply them both by \\( z \\) and take the correct fluents when \\( z = 0 \\), and we get\n\n\\[ \\cos(qr - p.z + \\cos(pz - r \\times \\cos(q.r + 1 - p.z + \\cos(p + q.z + &c. = M, \\text{ and } \\]\n\n\\[ \\sin(qr - p.z + \\sin(pz - r \\times \\sin(q.r + 1 - p.z + \\sin(p + q.z + &c. = 0, \\text{ M being put for } \\frac{1}{qr-p} + \\frac{1}{p} - r \\times \\frac{1}{q.r+1-p} + \\frac{1}{p+q} + r \\times \\frac{1}{q.r+2-p} + \\frac{1}{p+2q} &c. = \\frac{qr}{p.qr-p} - r \\times \\frac{r+2.q}{p+q.q.r+1-p} \\]\n\nMDCCCVI.\nMr. Gompertz on Series which may be summed\n\n\\[ + r \\cdot \\frac{r+1}{2} \\cdot \\frac{r+4 \\cdot q}{p+2q \\cdot q \\cdot r+z-p} \\text{ &c., if we now multiply the first of these by sine of } \\frac{1}{2}qr-p \\cdot z, \\text{ and the second by cos. of } \\frac{1}{2}qr-p \\cdot z, \\text{ and take the difference we have} \\]\n\n\\[\n\\frac{\\text{sine of } \\frac{1}{2}qr-p \\cdot z \\times \\cos. \\text{ of } qr-pz - \\cos. \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}qr-p \\cdot z \\times \\text{sine of } qr-pz}{qr-p} + [\\text{sine of } \\frac{1}{2}qr-p \\cdot z \\cdot \\cos. \\text{ of } pz + \\cos. \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}qr-pz \\cdot \\text{sine of } pz] \\div p -\n\\]\n\n\\[\n\\frac{r}{q \\cdot r+1-p} \\times [\\text{sine of } \\frac{1}{2}qr-pz \\cdot \\cos. \\text{ of } r+1 \\cdot q-p \\cdot z - \\cos. \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}qr-p \\cdot z \\cdot \\text{sine of } r+1 \\cdot q-p \\cdot z] -\n\\]\n\n\\[\n\\frac{r}{p+q} \\times [\\text{sine of } \\frac{1}{2}qr-p \\cdot z \\cdot \\cos. \\text{ of } p+q \\cdot z + \\cos. \\text{ of } \\frac{1}{2}qr-p \\cdot z \\times \\text{sine of } p+q \\cdot z] \\text{ &c.}\n\\]\n\nwhich by trigonometry is reducible to\n\n\\[\n\\frac{\\text{sine of } \\frac{1}{2}qr \\cdot z}{qr-p} + \\frac{\\text{sine of } \\frac{1}{2}qrz}{p} +\n\\]\n\n\\[\n+ r \\cdot \\frac{\\text{sine of } q \\cdot \\frac{1}{2}r+1 \\cdot z}{q \\cdot r+1-p} - r \\cdot \\frac{\\text{sine of } q \\cdot \\frac{1}{2}r+1 \\cdot z}{p+q} \\text{ &c. } = M \\cdot \\text{sine of } \\frac{1}{2}qr-pz; \\text{ or } \\frac{\\text{sine of } \\frac{1}{2}qrz}{p \\cdot qr-p} - r \\cdot \\frac{\\text{sine of } q \\cdot \\frac{1}{2}r+1 \\cdot z}{p+q \\cdot q \\cdot r+1-p} = M \\cdot \\text{sine of } \\frac{1}{2}qr-pz,\n\\]\n\nthe same as Landen finds, page 83, Mem. 5. We may farther add, that when series are obtained from others having failing cases by substitution, as in Scholium III. to Theorem I. or as in Theorem V. and VI. regard should be had to those failing cases, according to the manner of substitution, in order to find the failing cases in the new series. We might proceed to many more examples, in finding the sums of new series from others multiplied by fluxions, or we might give examples of finding the sums of new series by throwing others into fluxions: but my chief object in these latter examples was to obviate any difficulty that might appear in choosing the cases for the correction of the fluents. There are other inferences to be drawn, which I may perhaps consider at some future period.",
