Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a well-organized and erudite discourse on spherical triangles - three-sided shapes drawn on the surface of a sphere where the sides are arcs of great circles and the angles are the angles between the planes of these circles - a fascinating subject at the intersection of plane and spherical geometry, with applications in navigation, surveying, and astronomy. The author, a renowned mathematician, does not assume any prior knowledge of the subject and takes the reader on a comprehensive journey, covering everything from the basics to advanced concepts. The book is divided into three parts, the first of which provides an introduction to spherical triangles, defining basic terms and establishing fundamental relationships. The second part delves into the intricate world of spherical trigonometry, exploring the intricate interconnections and formulas that govern spherical triangles. The third part delves into the practical applications, showcasing how spherical triangles are utilized in navigation and surveying. Overall, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking a thorough understanding of spherical triangles, their properties, and their wide-ranging applications. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
