Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a sharp and yet concise description of celestial navigation. The author introduces new and easier methods, showing that a navigator can obtain his location by simple arithmetic with an accuracy that is well within his requirements. Those who sail the seas, navigators, astronomers, and all interested in astronomy will find the book easy to understand and follow. The author does not assume any prior knowledge of spherical trigonometry and geometry, instead relying on simple algebra, and plane trigonometry and demonstrating the application of differential calculus. Navigation is a mathematical subject, and must be so taught, and the author shows how by simplifying the complex subject of celestial navigation, it is possible to understand and use the equations with complete confidence and accuracy.
