SynopsisOffers a treatment of the Earth as an ellipsoid of revolution, pictured as a sphere, as has served navigators for centuries. Applies to surface navigation, and also to the surfaces of planets. It also includes methods for fixing a position by astronomical observation, and also a method of fixing position from the tracking of the angular co-ordinates of an astronomical body.
