Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical and Spherical Astronomy: For the Use Chiefly of Students in the Universities The want of a text-book on Astronomy adapted to the requirements of our Universities, and embodying the practice and the theories of the present time, has long been severely felt. It was hoped that the author's partial translation of Brunnow's Spherical Astronomy would have helped materially to supply this want, or would at least have given to College and private tutors an excellent model which they might have used, with proper modifications as the basis of their lectures. Whether this has been the case or not the author has had no opportunity of determining, but, on the urgent representations of several scientific friends, that a book was still wanting which should embody the methods of modern Astronomy as practised in England, and be put into a shape fit for the immediate use of students of the Universities, he has been induced to undertake the treatise which is now offered to the public.

Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 methods of investigation adopted in this work are in accordance with what may be called the modern school of practical astronomy, or more distinctively the German school, at the head of which stands the unrivalled Bessel. In this school, the investigations both of the general problems of Spherical Astronomy and of the Theory of Astronomical Instruments arc distinguished by the generality of their form and their mathematical rigor. When approximative methods are employed for convenience in practice, their degree of accuracy is carefully determined by means of exact formulæ previously investigated; the latter being developed in converging series, and only such terms of these series being neglected as can be shown to be insensible in the cases to which the formulæ are to be applied. And it is an essential condition of all the methods of computation from data furnished by observation, that the errors of the computation shall always be practically insensible in relation to the errors of observation: so that our results shall be purely the legitimate deductions from the observations, and free from all avoidable error.

Download or read book Euclid s Phaenomena written by J. L. Berggren and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-29 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1996, this book contains a translation and study of Euclid's Phaenomena, a work which once formed part of the mathematical training of astronomers from Central Asia to Western Europe. Included is an introduction that sets Euclid's geometry of the celestial sphere, and its application to the astronomy of his day, into its historical context for readers not already familiar with it. So no knowledge of astronomy or advanced mathematics is necessary for an understanding of the work. The book shows mathematical astronomy shortly before the invention of trigonometry, which allowed the calculation of exact results and the subsequent composition of Ptolemy's Almagest. This work and the (roughly) contemporaneous treatises of Autolycus and Aristarchos form a corpus of the oldest extant works on mathematical astronomy. Together with Euclid's Optics one has the beginnings of the history of science as an application of mathematics.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Astronomy written by C Barbieri and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing a broad overview of foundational concepts, Fundamentals of Astronomy covers topics ranging from spherical astronomy to celestial mechanics, closing with two chapters that discuss elements of astronomical photometry and spectroscopy. Supplementary and explanatory notes at the end of each chapter provide references to material published in scientific journals, and solved and unsolved exercises allow students to review their understanding of the material. Broad in coverage, the book presents arguments from classical astronomy, such as spherical astronomy, that form the foundation for future work in the field. Features: Provides an introductory vision of arguments from spherical astronomy to celestial mechanics to astronomical photometry and spectroscopy Presents the information at an introductory level without sacrificing scientific rigor Includes worked examples, references, and Web site evaluations
