This book is a geometric exploration of spherical shapes. It begins with the definitions of basic forms, such as great and small circles, that make up spherical surfaces. Then, it explains how to calculate the length of arcs, areas of segments, and the volume of spheres. The author investigates spherical triangles, covering theorems and proofs about their sides and angles. More advanced concepts, like spherical polygons and polar triangles, are also covered. The author demonstrates their applications in navigation and astronomy. This book provides a comprehensive foundation in the geometry of spheres, making it an invaluable tool for students and practitioners of navigation, surveying, astronomy, and mechanical engineering.
