Sinossi
Excerpt from A Manual of Spherical and Practical Astronomy, Vol. 1: Embracing the General Problems of Spherical Astronomy, the Special, Applications to Nautical Astronomy, and the Theory, and Use of Fixed and Portable Appendix Instruments, With an Appendix on the Method of Least Squares
The Gaussian method of reducing circummeridian alti tudes of the sun by referring them to the instant of the sun's maximum altitude, is in this work rigorously investi gated, and a small term, overlooked or disregarded by gauss, has been added to the formula.
A new and brief approximative method of finding the latitude by two altitudes near the meridian when the time is not known, is given in Vol. 1. Arts. 195 and 204, and another by three altitudes near the meridian, in Art. 205, which will probably be found useful as nautical methods.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the field of practical astronomy as it was understood in the 19th century. The author delves into the core concepts of spherical astronomy, providing a detailed examination of celestial coordinates and their transformations. He guides readers through various methods for finding time, latitude, and longitude, both on land and at sea. The book also explores important astronomical phenomena such as eclipses, occultations, and the motion of stars. The author's approach is deeply rooted in the "German school" of astronomy, emphasizing rigorous mathematical analysis and the use of accurate formulas. He critiques past methods, highlighting their limitations and offering alternative solutions, such as his own method for reducing lunar distances. The book also includes a thorough treatment of the method of least squares, a powerful tool for analyzing observational data and ensuring the most probable results. The book's significance lies in its comprehensive presentation of the techniques and knowledge that were essential for astronomical observation and calculation in the mid-19th century, offering readers a glimpse into the state of the art of practical astronomy during that period. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9781330156148_0
