Riassunto

An Elementary Treatise of Spherical Geometry and Trigonometry is a book written by Anthony Dumond Stanley in 1854. The book is a comprehensive guide to the principles of spherical geometry and trigonometry, which are essential for understanding the properties of spherical objects and their relationships with one another. The book begins with an introduction to the basic concepts of spherical geometry, including the definition of a sphere, its surface area, and its volume. It then delves into the principles of spherical trigonometry, which involves the study of triangles on a sphere. The author explains the various types of triangles that can be formed on a sphere, such as the great circle, small circle, and spherical triangle. The book also covers the different methods of measuring angles on a sphere, including the use of degrees, minutes, and seconds. The author provides numerous examples and exercises throughout the book to help readers understand the concepts and apply them in practical situations. In addition, the book includes a section on the applications of spherical geometry and trigonometry, such as navigation, astronomy, and geodesy. The author explains how these principles are used in real-world scenarios, such as determining the position of stars and planets, mapping the Earth's surface, and navigating ships at sea. Overall, An Elementary Treatise of Spherical Geometry and Trigonometry is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the principles of spherical geometry and trigonometry. Its clear explanations, numerous examples, and practical applications make it a useful tool for students, teachers, and professionals alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
