Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides innovative methods for precisely calculating longitude at sea using the moon and lunar distances. Before the advent of accurate timepieces like the chronometer, lunar distances were the most reliable method for finding longitude. The author explains how the tables in this book were structured using complex mathematical formulae rather than previous techniques like the Cambridge Tables. The formulae took into account the moon's parallax, which was previously ignored in lunar distance calculations. The book also provides a practical guide to calculating longitude using lunar distances, removing the reliance on large tables of proportional logarithms. This book is an essential resource for understanding lunar distance techniques, their historical significance, and their application for accurate navigation at sea. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781331974857_0
