Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mathematical and Astronomical Tables: For the Use of Students of Mathematics, Practical Astronomers, Surveyors, Engineers, and Navigators, With an Introduction, Containing the Explanation and Use of the Tables, Illustrated by Numerous Problems and Examples The application of the mathematical sciences to practical purposes has of late made great advances in accuracy and precision. The perfection also which astronomical and geodetical operations have reached, and the extreme delicacy of construction to which instruments have been carried, require correspondent improvements in the methods of computation and reduction; and, therefore, convenient tables of moderate expense must be of great value to those engaged either in the details of practice, or the business of instruction. There are two classes of tables chiefly in use; one either large and expensive, or attached to expensive works, and which therefore can with difficulty be procured by the generality of purchasers; the other so limited and defective as to be totally unfit for constant reference. It has been my study to hold a middle course between these two extremes. By making such additions to the usual tables as to render their application more easy, without greatly increasing their bulk; by selecting the most useful from larger collections; by supplying some new tables, and simplifying the practical rules, several very laborious processes have been rendered more simple and precise, while the requisite accuracy for the nicest purposes has been strictly preserved. In most of our initiatory works for popular instruction, the processes and examples are unfortunately conducted in such a manner as to be comparatively of little advantage in actual practice, and, consequently, what has been learned in youth, must, in a great degree, be forgotten in manhood, while new methods are then to be acquired.

Download or read book Sanskrit Astronomical Tables written by Clemency Montelle and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking volume provides an up-to-date, accessible guide to Sanskrit astronomical tables and their analysis. It begins with an overview of Indian mathematical astronomy and its literature, including table texts, in the context of history of pre-modern astronomy. It then discusses the primary mathematical astronomy content of table texts and the attempted taxonomy of this genre before diving into the broad outlines of their representation in the Sanskrit scientific manuscript corpus. Finally, the authors survey the major categories of individual tables compiled in these texts, complete with brief analyses of some of the methods for constructing and using them, and then chronicle the evolution of the table-text genre and the impacts of its changing role on the discipline of Sanskrit jyotiṣa. There are also three appendices: one inventories all the identified individual works in the genre currently known to the authors; one provides reference information about the details of all the notational, calendric, astronomical, and other classification systems invoked in the study; and one serves as a glossary of the relevant Sanskrit terms.

Download or read book Islamic Astronomical Tables written by Benno van Dalen and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume comprises nine articles on Islamic astronomy published since 1989 by Benno van Dalen. Van Dalen was the first historian of Islamic astronomy who made full use of the new possibilities of computers in the early 1990s. He implemented various statistical and numerical methods that can be used to determine the mathematical properties of medieval astronomical tables, and utilized these to obtain entirely new, until then unattainable historical results concerning the interdependence of individual tables and hence of entire astronomical works. His programmes for analysing tables, making sexagesimal calculations and converting calendar dates continue to be widely used. The five articles in the first part of this collection explain the principles of a range of statistical methods for determining unknown parameter values underlying astronomical tables and present extensive step-by-step examples for their use. The four articles in the second part provide extensive studies of materials in unpublished primary sources on Islamic astronomy that heavily depend on these methods. The volume is completed with a detailed index.

Download or read book Editing and Analysing Numerical Tables written by Mathieu Husson and published by . This book was released on 2021-11-29 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Astronomical tables are a significant yet understudied part of the scientific historical corpus. They circulated among many cultures, and were adopted and transformed by astronomical practitioners for a variety of purposes. The numerical data conveyed in these tables provides rich evidence for pre-modern scientific practices. In the last fifty years, new approaches to the analysis and critical editing of astronomical tables have flourished due to advances in computing power and associated modern mathematical tools. In more recent times, the rapid growth of digital humanities and modern data analysis promises exciting further developments in this area. The present collection of studies on astronomical tables captures this momentum. It is a result of long-term collaborative work on building a database of astronomical tables and other objects found in manuscripts, released under the name DISHAS (Digital Information System for the History of Astral Sciences). The fourteen contributions in this volume provide a broad coverage of astronomical traditions throughout Eurasia and North Africa, which, with very few exceptions, find their roots in the mathematical astronomy of Ptolemy. The contributions include critical editions of previously unexamined astronomical tables along with insightful mathematical analyses, as well as reflective methodological surveys that open up new perspectives for research on these fundamental sources for the history of mathematics and astronomy.
