Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed overview of practical methods used in astronomy and geodesy. The author has designed the book specifically for students in civil engineering who have a working knowledge of surveying equipment such as transits and sextants. However, the book is also useful for explorers and others who may need to determine their position in unfamiliar territory. The author begins by outlining the different types of spherical coordinates that are used in astronomy and geodesy. They then explain how to solve the astronomical triangle and how to apply this knowledge to practical problems such as determining the altitude and azimuth of a star or the latitude and longitude of a place. The book also includes a discussion of timekeeping and the equation of time. The author provides a thorough explanation of how to use various methods to determine latitude, such as meridian altitudes, circum-meridian altitudes, and the method of equal altitudes. They also discuss how to determine azimuth by observing the meridian transits of stars or by observing stars across any vertical circle. The book concludes with a discussion of the effect of errors in the data on the resulting calculations. The author's clear and concise explanations make this book an excellent resource for anyone who wants to learn more about practical astronomy and geodesy. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Notes on Practical Astronomy and Geodesy. University of Toronto Press, 1921. Second edition, revised and enlarged. Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No dustjacket. "These Notes form the substance of a course of lectures in Practical Astronomy and Geodesy given to students of the Third Year in Civil Engineering of the Faculty of Applied Science and engineering of the University of Toronto. These lectures are only designed to meet the requirements of the engineer or land surveyor in his ordinary practice, or those of the explorer wishing to determine his position in an unsettled country, and therefore barely touch upon the precise methods of the geodetic surveyor. The subjects treated, however, and the methods of treatment, are fundamental; so that the course serves as a useful introduction for those who desire to extend their studies to the higher parts of the subject." Pages are clean and binding tight. PO name and address inside front, hand-drawn table on rear inside. Stain around inside of boards, looks like a protective cover was attached. Very slight shelf and handling wear, tiny break at front edge of back. Corrected Fig. 39 laid in. Pagination error after page 14. Please email if you have any questions or want photos.
