Excerpt from Spherical Trigonometry: For Colleges and Secondary Schools
This book contains little more than what is required for the solution of spherical triangles and related simple practical problems. The articles on spherical geometry are necessary for those who have not already studied that subject; for others, they provide a useful review. More than usual attention has been given to the measurement of solid angles. The explana tions in connection with the astronomical problems are somewhat fuller than is customary in elementary text-books on spherical trigonometry.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the mathematical rules and ideas of spherical trigonometry. Specifically, the book concerns itself with the angles and sides of triedral angles. The relationship between these angles and sides, and their applications to astronomy are covered in detail. The book covers the construction of spherical triangles given different values and explores the conditions under which one can construct various triangles. It also covers right-angled triangles and special cases thereof, the ambiguous case, and the relations between the sides and angles of right-angled triangles. The book places significant emphasis on the measurement of solid angles and thorough investigations into spherical excess. Aimed at those studying astronomy and mathematics, the book provides a wealth of knowledge on the essential aspects of spherical trigonometry.
