Download or read book Geometry of Navigation written by Roy Williams and published by ISBS. This book was released on 1998 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many problems in navigation which, because of the true shape of the Earth, seemed numerically and algebraically impractical, can now be resolved by computers. Nevertheless, traditional methods provide important back-up, for which geometry is invaluable. This book offers a treatment of the Earth as an ellipsoid of revolution, pictured as a sphere, as has served navigators for centuries and applies to surface navigation and also to the surfaces of planets. It also includes methods for fixing a position by astronomical observation, as well as from the tracking of the angular co-ordinates of an astronomical body.

Download or read book The Mathematics of Navigation Classic Reprint written by Edward Jones Willis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mathematics of Navigation To the beginner, navigation seems a maze of formulas, a mass of tables and a long list of funny names. In fact, the extremely confused and complicated way of presenting the subject reminds the author of the examinations a licensed electrician has to pass, which are apparently gotten up to reduce the number of licensed electricians. Many who navigate ships are poor mathematicians, and though they may be fine men, good sailors and eficient oficers they are so in spite of their poor mathematics, not because of it. Navigation is a mathematical subject and should be so taught. N 0 one can understand navigation unless he knows some mathematics - arithmetic, geometry, algebra, analytical geometry and plane trigonometry. The author does not consider spherical geometry and trigonometry necessary, and thinks they should be avoided, as will be seen, but it is absolutely necessary that the general astro nomical situation be comprehended. Any one who knows astronomy can skip the chapter headed Right Ascension, as it was written only to cover this point.
