A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

I hi sludtnt as vrtll at lie tfocirr.) The purpose o[ this book is to furnish a text which is sufficiently short and easy to be mastered by the student of civii engineering in a single college term, but which shall give him a sufficiently exact and extensive knowledge of geodetic astronomy to serve as a basis for practice in that line after graduation. Though the book has been prepared primarily for students, the author has endeavored to insert such subject-matter, tables, and convenient formulre as would make it of value as a manual for the engineer making astronomical observations. In order to make the book sufficiently short it has been necessary to omit all mathematical processes except those actually necessary for developing the working formula. And as the object of the work is to teach a certain limited branch of astronomy, rather than to teach mathematics, the simpler and special means of deriving the working formulas have been chosen, in every case in which there was a chance for choice, instead of the more difficult and general derivation that would naturally be chosen by the mathematician. The occasion for the book is the fact that in the course of study prescribed for students of civil engineering at Cornell University but five hours per week for one term can be devoted to the text-book work and lectures on astronomy. Under these conditions it is out of the question to use Chauvenct sstandard

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
