This book is an introduction to spherical geometry, an ancient subject that explores the unique properties of figures drawn on the surface of a sphere. Archimedes, Euclid, and other early mathematicians made monumental contributions to this field, and the author provides clear explanations of their foundational ideas. This book thoroughly examines the relationships between the sides and angles of spherical triangles, and introduces important concepts such as the sine, cosine, tangent, and other trigonometric functions that are essential for understanding advanced geometry, astronomy, navigation, and physics. Through definitions, theorems, and corollaries, the author demonstrates how to calculate the values of angles and sides of a spherical triangle, making this book an accessible resource for students, mathematicians, engineers, and anyone interested in the beauty and utility of spherical geometry.
