Mathematical Instruments, Vol. 3: Their Construction, Adjustment, Testing, and Use; Surveying and Astronomical Instruments; Including, I. Instruments ... Ground; II. Instruments Employed in Astrono - Softcover
Synopsis
This book is an extensive exploration of surveying and astronomical instruments and the techniques associated with them. As such, this volume makes up the third installment within a series of texts dedicated to mathematical instruments. The author, an authority on mathematical instruments, provides a rich historical context for the development and refinement of these tools, tracing their evolution through meticulous research. The author presents a comprehensive view of the subject matter, encompassing instruments used for measuring both horizontal and vertical distances, as well as the angle-measuring tools involved in astronomy. A detailed discussion on the theory of the instruments is provided, as well as the adjustments needed to ensure their precise functioning. The author elucidates concepts with the help of clear diagrams and figures throughout the text. This book is an invaluable resource for students, scholars, instrument makers, astronomers, surveyors, and historians of science, providing a comprehensive and well-researched reference guide to these important tools and techniques.
