Delve into spherical geometry, plane and spherical trigonometry, and conic sections with a nineteenth‑century classic.
This volume continues a series, blending pure theory with practical problem solving for college instruction and applied mensuration.
Designed as both a textbook and a compact reference, it emphasizes connections between algebra and geometry, includes numerous exercises, and presents valuable methods for solving traditionally hard trigonometric and geometric problems. The work draws on established translations and prior works to expand and illuminate the subject for students and practitioners alike.
- Topics include spherical geometry, trigonometric surveying, and the quadrature of curves and solids
- Written to support collegiate and academic instruction while serving as a practical compendium
- Emphasizes simple, elegant constructions and analyses for complex problems
- Includes many useful problems and applications to real‑world measurement tasks
Ideal for readers of advanced geometry and historical mathematical texts.
