Title A name given to the resource Heavenly Mathematics Description An account of the resource <p><em>Heavenly Mathematics</em> traces the rich history of spherical trigonometry, revealing how the cultures of classical Greece, medieval Islam, and the modern West used this forgotten art to chart the heavens and the Earth. Once at the heart of astronomy and ocean-going navigation for two millennia, the discipline was also a mainstay of mathematics education for centuries and taught widely until the 1950s. Glen Van Brummelen explores this exquisite branch of mathematics and its role in ancient astronomy, geography, and cartography; Islamic religious rituals; celestial navigation; polyhedra; stereographic projection; and more. He conveys the sheer beauty of spherical trigonometry, providing readers with a new appreciation of its elegant proofs and often surprising conclusions. <em>Heavenly Mathematics</em> is illustrated throughout with stunning historical images and informative drawings and diagrams. This unique compendium also features easy-to-use appendixes as well as exercises that originally appeared in textbooks from the eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries.</p> <p> </p> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Glen Van Brummelen Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Princeton University Press Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2013 Language A language of the resource Engels Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context WIS0465
