Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed overview of practical methods used in astronomy and geodesy. The author has designed the book specifically for students in civil engineering who have a working knowledge of surveying equipment such as transits and sextants. However, the book is also useful… for explorers and others who may need to determine their position in unfamiliar territory. The author begins by outlining the different types of spherical coordinates that are used in astronomy and geodesy. They then explain how to solve the astronomical triangle and how to apply this knowledge to practical problems such as determining the altitude and azimuth of a star or the latitude and longitude of a place. The book also includes a discussion of timekeeping and the equation of time. The author provides a thorough explanation of how to use various methods to determine latitude, such as meridian altitudes, circum-meridian altitudes, and the method of equal altitudes. They also discuss how to determine azimuth by observing the meridian transits of stars or by observing stars across any vertical circle. The book concludes with a discussion of the effect of errors in the data on the resulting calculations. The author's clear and concise explanations make this book an excellent resource for anyone who wants to learn more about practical astronomy and geodesy.
