Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. Contents: Preface. 1. Spherical astronomy. 2. Spherical trigonometry. 3. Cesaros key triangles. 4. Planetary motion. 5. Astronomical photography. 6. Binary star orbit. Bibliography. Index. Spherical trigonometry is a branch of spherical geometry which deals with polygons on the sphere and the relationships between the sides and the angles. Spherical trigonometry is closely connected with the astronomy. Spherical geometry was developed by a number of mathematicians with an important text being written by Autolycus in Athens around 330 BC. Some claim that Autolycus based his work on spherical geometry on the moving sphere on an earlier work by Eudoxus. Whether or not this is the case there is no doubt that Autolycus was strongly influenced by the views of Eudoxus on astronomy. Spherical trigonometry involves the study of spherical triangles which are formed by the intersection of three great circle arcs on the surface of a sphere.

Hard Cover. Condition: Good binding. First Edition. Benjamin Peirce was a graduate and professor at Harvard of Mathematics, regarded as the first American mathematician to seriously pursue mathematical research, and the greatest American mathematician of his time. "His texts on all areas of mathematics published from 1835 on and his many papers on mathematical astronomy marked a change in the level of work in American mathematics" (Stigler p. 245). Considered the Father of Pure Mathematics in America, Peirce's work directly influenced the progress of American mathematical study, this being one of his earliest textbooks, the First Part of an Elementary Treatise on Spherical Trigonometry. First Edition; one folding plate, and additional in text diagrams. Very slight foxing, and some rippling to the textblock. Previous owner's names on the endpapers.
