  • <p>Spherical trigonometry was at the heart of astronomy and ocean-going navigation for two millennia. The discipline was a mainstay of mathematics education for centuries, and it was a standard subject in high schools until the 1950s. Today, however, it is rarely taught. <em>Heavenly Mathematics</em> traces the rich history of this forgotten art, revealing how the cultures of classical Greece, medieval Islam, and the modern West used spherical trigonometry to chart the heavens and the Earth. Glen Van Brummelen explores this exquisite branch of mathematics and its role in ancient astronomy, geography, and cartography; Islamic religious rituals; celestial navigation; polyhedra; stereographic projection; and more. He conveys the sheer beauty of spherical trigonometry, providing readers with a new appreciation for its elegant proofs and often surprising conclusions.</p> <p><em>Heavenly Mathematics</em> is illustrated throughout with stunning historical images and informati...

  • <p>This early work on spherical trigonometry is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It contains a comprehensive account of the subject and includes numerous examples and exercises. This is a fascinating work and highly recommended for anyone interested in learning spherical trigonometry. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

  • <p>Spherical Trigonometry deals with triangles drawn on a sphere. The subject originated in the Islamic Caliphates of the Middle East, North Africa and Spain during the 8th to 14th centuries. The development of this subject lead to improvements in the art of navigation, stellar map making, geographic map making, the positions of sunrise and sunset, and improvements to the sundial. On the surface of a sphere, the closest analogue to straight lines are great circles, i.e. circles whose centres coincide with the centre of the sphere. Spherical astronomy is the branch of astronomy that is concerned with where celestial objects are located and how they move on the celestial sphere. It is one of the oldest fields of the astronomical science. If you go out in an open field on a clear night and look at the sky, you have no indication of the distance to the objects you see. A particular bright dot may be a airplane a few miles off, a satellite a few hundred miles off, a planet a many milli...

  • <p>The present work is constructed on the same plan as my treatise on Plane Trigonometry, to which it is intended as a sequel; it contains all the propositions usually included under the head of Spherical Trigonometry, together with a large collection of examples for exercise. In the course of the work reference is made to preceding writers from whom assistance has been obtained; besides these writers I have consulted the treatises on Trigonometry by Lardner, Lefebure de Fourcy, and Snowball, and the treatise on Geometry published in the Library of Useful Knowledge. The examples have been chiefly selected from the University and College Examination Papers.</p> <p>In the account of Napier’s Rules of Circular Parts an explanation has been given of a method of proof devised by Napier, which seems to have been overlooked by most modern writers on the subject. I have had the advantage of access to an unprinted Memoir on this point by the late R. L. Ellis of Trinity College; Mr. Ell...

  • <p>Originally published in 1859, this early work by English Mathematician Isaac Todhunter is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It contains a wealth of information on spherical trigonometry and includes chapters on Geodetical Operations, Polyhedrons, Spherical Geometry and much more. This fascinating work is thoroughly recommended for all students of mathematics looking to advance their knowledge of the subject. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce.
