Year: 1982 Language: English Author: Moody A.B. Genre: Technical book Publisher: Van Nostrand Reinhold Inc.,U.S. Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 280 Description: The navigational problems of plotting course and fixing position have existed since man first ventured out to sea. Celestial navigation —using the fixed positions of heavenly bodies in relation to the earth—has been employed for centuries to solve these problems. Various theories, short methods, almanacs, and other navigational aids have improved this practice over the years; recently another important technological breakthrough has come over the horizon—the computer. Like other navigational tools, however, computers and hand calculators have appropriate roles in celestial navigation: they are significant tools that may increase speed and accuracy in solving certain navigational problems, but they are not devices that render all other methods of computation obsolete.
