Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spherical Astronomy Still I publish this translation with diffidence, as I am well aware of its imperfection, and as I fear that, not to speak of the want of that finish of style which might have been expected from an English Translator, there will be found now and then some Germanisms, which are always liable to occur in a translation, espe cially when made by a German. I have discovered some such mistakes myself and have given them in the Table of Errors. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2008-05 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREFACE. THE present volume is the first of a projected series having the double purpose of developing the elements of Practical and Theoretical Astronomy for the special student of the subject, ancl of serving as a handbook of convenient reference for the use of the - cvorlcing astronomer in applying methods and fornlulae. lhe plan of the series has been suggested by the authors experience as a teacher at the Johns Hopkins Uni versity, and as an invest. igator. The first has led him to thc view that the wants of the student are best subserved by a quite elementary and condensed treatment of the subject, without any attempt to go far into details not admitting of immediate practical application. As an investigator he has frequently been impressed with the amount of time consumed id searching for the formulae and data, even of an elementary kind, which should be, in each case, best adapted to the work in hand. The most urgent want which the work is intended to supply is that of improved methods of deriving and reducing the positions. and proper motions of the fixed stars. Nodifications of the older methods are made necessary by the long period, 150 years, through which positions of the ahrs now have to be reduced, and by the extension of a tromctrica1 and statistical researches to a great and constantly increasing number of telescopic stars. Especial attention has therefore been given to devising the most expeditious and rigorous methods of trigonornetric reduction of star positions, and to the construction of tables to facilihte the work. Other features of the work arc A condensed treatment of the theory of errors of observation and of thc method of least squares an attempt to presentthe theory of astronornical refraction in a concise and elementary form witllout dctracting from rigour of treatment a new dovcloplncnt of the theory of precession, now rendered necessary by the long period through which star places have to be reduced the basing of formulae relating to celestial coordinates on the new values of the constants now used in the national ephernerides a concise developlrient of the rigorous theory of proper motions the trigonometric reduction of polar stars to apprent place, and the development of what the author deems the most advantageous methods of correcting and com bining observed positions of stars as found in catalogucs. Although the theory of astronomical instruments is not in cluded within the scope of the present work, it is necessary, in using star catalogues, to understand the inethods of deriving the results therein found from observations. The principles of the ideal transit instrument and meridian circle, omitting all details arising from imperfections of the instrument, nie elegant and simplc, and at the same tiine sufficient for the purpose in question. They are therefore briefly set forth in the chapter on deriving mean positions of stars from meridian observations. A pedagogical feature of the work is the ort to give objective reality to geometric conceptions in every branch of the subject. Ihe deduction of results by purely algebraic processes is therefore always supplemented, when convenient, by geometric construction. Whenever such a construction is represented on the celestial sphere, the latter is, in the absence of any reason to the contrary, shown as seen from the . centre, so that the figure shows thc sky as one actually looks up atit. Exceptions to this are some times necessary when planes and axes of reference have to be studied in connection with their relation to the sphere...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Spherical Astronomy Astronomy on the one hand and the multitudinous details of Practical Astronomy on the other. I have aimed at providing for the student a book on Spherical Astronomy which is generally within the limits thus indicated, but I have not hesitated to transgress those limits now and then when there seemed to be good reason for doing so. For example I have just crossed the border of Dynamical Astronomy in Chapter VII., and in two concluding chapters I have so far entered on Practical Astronomy as to give some account of the fundamental geometrical principles of astronomical instruments. It has been assumed that the reader of this book is already acquainted with the main facts of Descriptive Astronomy. The reader is also expected to be familiar with the ordinary processes of Plane and Spherical Trigonometry and he should have at least an elementary knowledge of Analytic Geometry and Conic Sections as well as of the Differential and Integral Calculus. It need hardly be added that the student of any branch of Mathematical Astro nomy should also know the principles of Statics and Dynamics. As a guide to the student who is making his first acquaintance with Spherical Astronomy, I have affixed an asterisk to the titles of those articles which he may omit on a first reading; the articles so indicated being rather more advanced than the articles which precede or follow. Such articles as relate to the more important subjects are generally illustrated by exercises. In making a selection from the large amount of available material I have endeavoured to choose exercises which not only bear directly on the text, but also have some special astronomical or mathematical interest. It will be seen that the Tripos examinations at Cambridge and many. College examinations at Cambridge and elsewhere have provided a large proportion of the exercises. I have also obtained exercises from many other sources which are duly indicated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
