Text-Book of Geodetic Astronomy

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Astronomy contains more mathematics than a student can be expected to master thoroughly in that period. Of various other text-books available none seem to fit the special condi tions. In the wording of the book it is tacitly assumed that the observer is in the northern hemisphere. To make the word ing general would require too many circumlocutions.
