A Treatise on Spherics, Comprising the Elements of Spherical Geometry

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book establishes a geometry of spheres that is practical for use on any spherical surface. It does this by developing, in a new way, a body of propositions that can be applied in the solution of spherical triangles. These trianglesâ"often used to solve for the parts of triangles and circles that lie on spheresâ"are central to navigation, geography, astronomy, and crystallography. The author's interest in the topic was piqued by the fact that no comprehensive work on spherical geometry has been written since the days of Theodosius and Menelaus. His aim here is to fill that gap by bringing the subject up to date and completing it, to the extent possible, for use by practitioners of the various disciplines that rely on it. The results demonstrate the considerable potential of spherical geometry through their fascinating insights into a broad range of important concepts and their practical applications.
