The Canon Sinuum was a historic table of sines thought to have given the sines to 8 sexagesimal places between 0 and 90 degrees in steps of 2 arc seconds. Some authors believe that the table was only between 0 and 45 degrees. It was created by Jost Bürgi at the end of the 16th century. Such tables were essential for navigation at sea. Johannes Kepler called the Canon Sinuum the most precise known table of sines. This table is thought to be lost. The manuscript of Fundamentum Astronomiae is now in the collection of the Biblioteka Uniwersytecka in Wrocław, Poland.

- El Canon Sinuum era una tabla histórica de senos que se cree que contenía el valor de los senos entre 0 y 90 grados en incrementos de 2 segundos de arco con una precisión de 8 posiciones sexagesimales. Algunos autores creen que la tabla solo contenía los valores comprendidos entre 0 y 45 grados. Fue creado por el matemático y relojero suizo Jost Bürgi a finales del siglo XVI. Tales tablas eran esenciales para la navegación en alta mar. Johannes Kepler denominó al Canon Sinuum como la tabla de senos más precisa conocida. Se cree que esta tabla está perdida. (es)

| - The Canon Sinuum was a historic table of sines thought to have given the sines to 8 sexagesimal places between 0 and 90 degrees in steps of 2 arc seconds. Some authors believe that the table was only between 0 and 45 degrees. It was created by Jost Bürgi at the end of the 16th century. Such tables were essential for navigation at sea. Johannes Kepler called the Canon Sinuum the most precise known table of sines. This table is thought to be lost. The Canon Sinuum was computed by Bürgi's algorithms explained in his work Fundamentum Astronomiae presented to Emperor Rudolf II. in 1592. These algorithms made use of differences and were one of the early uses of difference calculus. The largest trigonometrical table actually contained in the Fundamentum Astronomiae is a table giving the sines for every minute of the quadrant and to 5 to 7 sexagesimal places. The manuscript of Fundamentum Astronomiae is now in the collection of the Biblioteka Uniwersytecka in Wrocław, Poland. (en)

El Canon Sinuum fue calculado gracias a los algoritmos de Bürgi, descritos en su trabajo Fundamentum Astronomiae, presentado al Emperador Rodolfo II en 1592. Estos algoritmos hacían uso de diferencias y fueron uno de los primeros usos del cálculo de diferencias finitas. La tabla trigonométrica más grande realmente contenida en el Fundamentum Astronomiae contiene los senos por cada minuto del cuadrante, con precisión de 5 a 7 lugares sexagesimales. El manuscrito de Fundamentum Astronomiae se encuentra ahora en la colección de la Biblioteka Uniwersytecka en Breslavia, Polonia. (es)
