Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an 1875 second edition of a treatise originally written in 1861 by Astronomer Royal Sir George Biddell Airy. It examines the Theory of Errors of Observation and how to combine the results of observations, seeking to standardize the method for astronomers. The theory was initially divided into two distinct branches: one concerned with errors of integers and the other with graduated errors, but the author has found the latter to be of more practical use for astronomical observations. Using a denite integral, the author investigates the probability that an error will fall within a given amount using algebraical and numerical methods. These methods apply equally to positive or negative errors. The author concludes by examining the law of frequency of error and how multiple observations can be combined to form the most advantageous combination. This treatise will appeal to anyone interested in the subject of astronomy or mathematics, particularly those interested in the methods for combining observations and determining the probability of error.
