In the course of the work +reference is made to preceding writers from whom assistance +has been obtained; besides these writers I have consulted the +treatises on Trigonometry by Lardner, Lefebure de Fourcy, +and Snowball, and the treatise on Geometry published in the +Library of Useful Knowledge. The examples have been +chiefly selected from the University and College Examination +Papers. + +In the account of Napier's Rules of Circular Parts an +explanation has been given of a method of proof devised by +Napier, which seems to have been overlooked by most modern +writers on the subject. I have had the advantage of access to +an unprinted Memoir on this point by the late R.~L. Ellis of +Trinity College; Mr Ellis had in fact rediscovered for himself +Napier's own method. For the use of this Memoir and for +some valuable references on the subject I am indebted to the +Dean of Ely. + +Considerable labour has been bestowed on the text in +order to render it comprehensive and accurate, and the examples +have all been carefully verified; and thus I venture +to hope that the work will be found useful by Students and +Teachers. + +\begin{flushright} +{\large I.

I have considerably enlarged +the discussion on the connexion of Formul\ae\ in Plane and +Spherical Trigonometry; so as to include an account of the +properties in Spherical Trigonometry which are analogous to +those of the Nine Points Circle in Plane Geometry. The +mode of investigation is more elementary than those hitherto +employed; and perhaps some of the results are new. The +fourteenth Chapter is almost entirely original, and may deserve +attention from the nature of the propositions themselves +and of the demonstrations which are given. +\bigskip + +\begin{small} +\textsc{Cambridge},\\ +\mbox{\hspace{5em}}\textit{July}, 1871. +\end{small} +%-----File: 009.png------------------------------------------------ + + +%-----File: 010.png------------------------------------------------ +%-----File: 011.png------------------------------------------------ + +\tableofcontents +\end{frontmatter} +\begin{mainmatter} +\headsep =.5 in +\begin{spacing}{1.3} + +\chapter[Great and Small Circles.]{GREAT AND SMALL CIRCLES.} + +\paragraph{1.} \textsc{A sphere} is a solid bounded by a surface every point of +which is equally distant from a fixed point which is called the +\textit{centre} of the sphere. The straight line which joins any point of +the surface with the centre is called a \textit{radius}. A straight line +drawn through the centre and terminated both ways by the surface +is called a \textit{diameter}. + +\paragraph{2.} \textit{The section of the surface of a sphere made by any plane +is a circle.} +\begin{figure}[htp] +\centering +\includegraphics[width=5cm]{images/011fc} +\end{figure} + +Let $AB$ be the section of the surface of a sphere made by any +plane, $O$ the centre of the sphere. Draw $OC$ perpendicular to the +plane; take any point $D$ in the section and join $OD$, $CD$. Since +$OC$ is perpendicular to the plane, the angle $OCD$ is a right angle; +therefore $CD=\surd(OD^2-OC^2)$. Now $O$ and $C$ are fixed points, so +that $OC$ is constant; and $OD$ is constant, being the radius of the +%-----File: 012.png------------------------------------------------ +sphere; hence $CD$ is constant. Thus all points in the plane section +are equally distant from the fixed point $C$; therefore the section +is a circle of which $C$ is the centre. + +\paragraph{3.} The section of the surface of a sphere by a plane is called +a \textit{great circle} if the plane passes through the centre of the sphere, +and a \textit{small circle} if the plane does not pass through the centre of +the sphere. Thus the radius of a great circle is equal to the +radius of the sphere. + +\paragraph{4.} Through the centre of a sphere and any two points on the +surface a plane can be drawn; and only one plane can be drawn, +except when the two points are the extremities of a diameter of +the sphere, and then an infinite number of such planes can be +drawn. Hence only one great circle can be drawn through two +given points on the surface of a sphere, except when the points are +the extremities of a diameter of the sphere. When only one great +circle can be drawn through two given points, the great circle is +unequally divided at the two points; we shall for brevity speak of +the shorter of the two arcs as \textit{the} arc of a great circle joining the +two points. + +\paragraph{5.} The \textit{axis} of any circle of a sphere is that diameter of the +sphere which is perpendicular to the plane of the circle; the extremities +of the axis are called the \textit{poles} of the circle. The poles +of a great circle are equally distant from the plane of the circle. +The poles of a small circle are not equally distant from the plane +of the circle; they may be called respectively the \textit{nearer} and \textit{further} +pole; sometimes the nearer pole is for brevity called \textit{the} pole. + +\paragraph{6.} \textit{A pole of a circle is equally distant from every point of the +circumference of the circle.} + +Let $O$ be the centre of the sphere, $AB$ any circle of the sphere, +$C$ the centre of the circle, $P$ and $P'$ the poles of the circle. Take +any point $D$ in the circumference of the circle; join $CD$, $OD$, $PD$. +Then $PD=\surd(PC^2+CD^2)$; and $PC$ and $CD$ are constant, therefore +$PD$ is constant. Suppose a great circle to pass through the points +$P$ and $D$; then the chord $PD$ is constant, and therefore the arc of +%-----File: 013.png------------------------------------------------ +a great circle intercepted between $P$ and $D$ is constant for all +positions of $D$ on the circle $AB$. +\begin{figure}[htp] +\centering +\includegraphics[width=5cm]{images/013f1c} +\end{figure} + +Thus the distance of a pole of a circle from every point of the +circumference of the circle is constant, whether that distance be +measured by the straight line joining the points, or by the arc of +a great circle intercepted between the points. + +\paragraph{7.} \textit{The arc of a great circle which is drawn from a pole of a +great circle to any point in its circumference is a quadrant.} +\begin{figure}[htp] +\centering +\includegraphics[width=5cm]{images/013f2c} +\end{figure} + +Let $P$ be a pole of the great circle $ABC$; then the arc $PA$ is a +quadrant. + +For let $O$ be the centre of the sphere, and draw $PO$. Then +$PO$ is at right angles to the plane $ABC$, because $P$ is the pole of +$ABC$, therefore $POA$ is a right angle, and the arc $PA$ is a quadrant. +%-----File: 014.png------------------------------------------------ + +\paragraph{8.} \textit{The angle subtended at the centre of a sphere by the arc of +a great circle which joins the poles of two great circles is equal to the +inclination of the planes of the great circles.} +\begin{figure}[htp] +\centering +\includegraphics[width=5cm]{images/014fc} +\end{figure} + +Let $O$ be the centre of the sphere, $CD$, $CE$ the great circles intersecting +at $C$, $A$ and $B$ the poles of $CD$ and $CE$ respectively. + +Draw a great circle through $A$ and $B$, meeting $CD$ and $CE$ at +$M$ and $N$ respectively. Then $AO$ is perpendicular to $OC$, which is +a straight line in the plane $OCD$; and $BO$ is perpendicular to $OC$, +which is a straight line in the plane $OCE$; therefore $OC$ is perpendicular +to the plane $AOB$ (Euclid, \textsc{xi}.~4); and therefore $OC$ is +perpendicular to the straight lines $OM$ and $ON$, which are in the +plane $AOB$. Hence $MON$ is the angle of inclination of the planes +$OCD$ and $OCE$. And the angle +\[ +AOB = AOM - BOM = BON - BOM = MON. +\] + +\paragraph{9.} By the angle between two great circles is meant \textit{the angle +of inclination of the planes of the circles}. Thus, in the figure of +the preceding Article, the angle between the great circles $CD$ and +$CE$ is the angle $MON$. + +In the figure to Art.~6, since $PO$ is perpendicular to the plane +$ACB$, every plane which contains $PO$ is at right angles to the +plane $ACB$. Hence the angle between the plane of any circle +and the plane of a great circle which passes through its poles is +a right angle. +%-----File: 015.png------------------------------------------------ + +\paragraph{10.} \textit{Two great circles bisect each other.} + +For since the plane of each great circle passes through the +centre of the sphere, the line of intersection of these planes is a +diameter of the sphere, and therefore also a diameter of each great +circle; therefore the great circles are bisected at the points where +they meet. + +\paragraph{11.} \textit{If the arcs of great circles joining a point $\mathrm{P}$ on the surface +of a sphere with two other points $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{C}$ on the surface of the +sphere, which are not at opposite extremities of a diameter, be each of +them equal to a quadrant, $\mathrm{P}$ is a pole of the great circle through +$\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{C}$.} (See the figure of Art.~7.) + +For suppose $PA$ and $PC$ to be quadrants, and $O$ the centre of +the sphere; then since $PA$ and $PC$ are quadrants, the angles $POC$ +and $POA$ are right angles. Hence $PO$ is at right angles to the +plane $AOC$, and $P$ is a pole of the great circle $AC$. + +\paragraph{12.} Great circles which pass through the poles of a great +circle are called \textit{secondaries} to that circle. Thus, in the figure of +Art.~8 the point $C$ is a pole of $ABMN$, and therefore $CM$ and $CN$ +are parts of secondaries to $ABMN$. And the angle between $CM$ +and $CN$ is measured by $MN$; that is, \textit{the angle between any two +great circles is measured by the arc they intercept on the great circle +to which they are secondaries.} + +\paragraph{13.} \textit{If from a point on the surface of a sphere there can be +drawn two arcs of great circles, not parts of the same great circle, +the planes of which are at right angles to the plane of a given circle, +that point is a pole of the given circle.} + +For, since the planes of these arcs are at right angles to the +plane of the given circle, the line in which they intersect is perpendicular +to the plane of the given circle, and is therefore the +axis of the given circle; hence the point from which the arcs are +drawn is a pole of the circle. +%-----File: 016.png------------------------------------------------ + +\paragraph{14.} \textit{To compare the arc of a small circle subtending any angle +at the centre of the circle with the arc of a great circle subtending +the same angle at its centre.} +\begin{figure}[htp] +\centering +\includegraphics[width=5.0cm]{images/016fc} +\end{figure} + +Let $ab$ be the arc of a small circle, $C$ the centre of the circle, +$P$ the pole of the circle, $O$ the centre of the sphere. Through $P$ +draw the great circles $PaA$ and $PbB$, meeting the great circle +of which $P$ is a pole, at $A$ and $B$ respectively; draw $Ca$, $Cb$, $OA$, +$OB$.

Suppose $Ab$ the tangent at $A$ to the arc +$AB$, and $Ac$ the tangent at $A$ to the arc $AC$, the tangents being +drawn from $A$ \textit{towards} $B$ and $C$ respectively; then the angle $bAc$ +is one of the angles of the spherical triangle. Similarly angles +formed in like manner at $B$ and $C$ are the other angles of the +spherical triangle. +%-----File: 018.png------------------------------------------------ + +\paragraph{19.} The principal part of a treatise on Spherical Trigonometry +consists of theorems relating to spherical triangles; it is therefore +necessary to obtain an accurate conception of a spherical triangle +and its parts. + +It will be seen that what are called \textit{sides} of a spherical +triangle are really \textit{arcs} of great circles, and these arcs are proportional +to the three plane angles which form the solid angle +corresponding to the spherical triangle. Thus, in the figure of +the preceding Article, the arc $AB$ forms one side of the spherical +triangle $ABC$, and the plane angle $AOB$ is measured by the fraction +$\dfrac{\operatorname{arc} AB} {\operatorname{radius} OA}$; and thus the arc $AB$ is proportional to the angle +$AOB$ so long as we keep to the same sphere. + +The \textit{angles} of a spherical triangle are the inclinations of the +plane faces which form the solid angle; for since $Ab$ and $Ac$ are +both perpendicular to $OA$, the angle $bAc$ is the angle of inclination +of the planes $OAB$ and $OAC$. + +\paragraph{20.} The letters $A$, $B$, $C$ are generally used to denote the +\textit{angles} of a spherical triangle, and the letters $a$, $b$, $c$ are used to +denote the \textit{sides}. As in the case of plane triangles, $A$, $B$, and $C$ +may be used to denote the numerical values of the angles expressed +in \textit{terms of any unit}, provided we understand distinctly what the +unit is. Thus, if the angle $C$ be a right angle, we may say that +$C = 90^\circ$, or that $C = \dfrac{\pi}{2}$, according as we adopt for the unit a degree +or the angle subtended at the centre by an arc equal to the +radius. So also, as the sides of a spherical triangle are proportional +to the angles subtended at the centre of the sphere, we +may use $a$, $b$, $c$ to denote the numerical values of those angles +in terms of any unit. We shall usually suppose both the angles +and sides of a spherical triangle expressed in \textit{circular measure}. +(\textit{Plane Trigonometry}, Art.\ 20.) +%-----File: 019.png------------------------------------------------ + +\paragraph{21.} In future, unless the contrary be distinctly stated, any +arc drawn on the surface of a sphere will be supposed to be an arc +of a \textit{great} circle. + +\paragraph{22.} In spherical triangles each side is restricted to be less +than a semicircle; this is of course a \textit{convention}, and it is adopted +because it is found convenient. +\begin{figure}[htp] +\centering +\includegraphics[width=5.0cm]{images/019fc} +\end{figure} + +Thus, in the figure, the arc $ADEB$ is greater than a semicircumference, +and we might, if we pleased, consider $ADEB$, $AC$, +and $BC$ as forming a triangle, having its angular points at $A$, $B$, +and $C$. But we agree to exclude such triangles from our consideration; +and the triangle having its angular points at $A$, $B$, +and $C$, will be understood to be that formed by $AFB$, $BC$, and $CA$. + +\paragraph{23.} From the restriction of the preceding Article it will +follow that \textit{any angle of a spherical triangle is less than two right +angles}. + +For suppose a triangle formed by $BC$, $CA$, and $BEDA$, having +the angle $BCA$ greater than two right angles. Then suppose $D$ +to denote the point at which the arc $BC$, if produced, will meet +$AE$; then $BED$ is a semicircle by Art.\ 10, and therefore $BEA$ +is greater than a semicircle; thus the proposed triangle is not one +of those which we consider. +%-----File: 020.png------------------------------------------------ + +\chapter[Spherical Geometry.]{SPHERICAL GEOMETRY.} + +\paragraph{24.} The relations between the sides and angles of a Spherical +Triangle, which are investigated in treatises on Spherical Trigonometry, +are chiefly such as involve the \textit{Trigonometrical Functions} +of the sides and angles. Before proceeding to these, however, we +shall collect, under the head of Spherical Geometry, some theorems +which involve the sides and angles \textit{themselves}, and not their trigonometrical +ratios. + +\paragraph{25.} \textit{Polar triangle}. Let $ABC$ be any spherical triangle, and +let the points $A'$, $B'$, $C'$ be those poles of the arcs $BC$, $CA$, $AB$ +\begin{figure}[htp] +\centering +\includegraphics[width=5.0cm]{images/020fc} +\end{figure} +respectively which lie on the same sides of them as the opposite +angles $A$, $B$, $C$; then the triangle $A'B'C'$ is said to be the \textit{polar +triangle} of the triangle $ABC$. + +Since there are two poles for each side of a spherical triangle, +\textit{eight} triangles can be formed having for their angular points poles +of the sides of the given triangle; but there is only one triangle in +which these poles $A'$, $B'$, $C'$ lie towards the same parts with the +corresponding angles $A$, $B$, $C$; and this is the triangle which is +known under the name of the \textit{polar triangle}. + +The triangle $ABC$ is called the \textit{primitive} triangle with respect +to the triangle $A'B'C'$. +%-----File: 021.png------------------------------------------------ + +\paragraph{26.} \textit{If one triangle be the polar triangle of another, the latter +will be the polar triangle of the former.} + +Let $ABC$ be any triangle, $A'B'C'$ the polar triangle: then $ABC$ +will be the polar triangle of $A'B'C'$. +\begin{figure}[htp] +\centering +\includegraphics[width=5.0cm]{images/021fc} +\end{figure} + +For since $B'$ is a pole of $AC$, the arc $AB'$ is a quadrant, and +since $C'$ is a pole of $BA$, the arc $AC'$ is a quadrant (Art.\ 7); therefore +$A$ is a pole of $B'C'$ (Art.\ 11). Also $A$ and $A'$ are on the same +side of $B'C'$; for $A$ and $A'$ are by hypothesis on the same side of +$BC$, therefore $A'A$ is less than a quadrant; and since $A$ is a pole +of $B'C'$, and $AA'$ is less than a quadrant, $A$ and $A'$ are on the +same side of $B'C'$. + +Similarly it may be shewn that $B$ is a pole of $C'A'$, and that $B$ +and $B'$ are on the same side of $C'A'$; also that $C$ is a pole of $A'B'$, +and that $C$ and $C'$ are on the same side of $A'B'$. Thus $ABC$ is the +polar triangle of $A'B'C'$. + +\paragraph{27.} \textit{The sides and angles of the polar triangle are respectively +the supplements of the angles and sides of the primitive triangle.} + +For let the arc $B'C'$, produced if necessary, meet the arcs $AB$, +$AC$, produced if necessary, at the points $D$ and $E$ respectively; +then since $A$ is a pole of $B'C'$, the spherical angle $A$ is measured by +the arc $DE$ (Art.\ 12). But $B'E$ and $C'D$ are each quadrants; +therefore $DE$ and $B'C'$ are together equal to a semicircle; that is, +the angle subtended by $B'C'$ at the centre of the sphere is the +%-----File: 022.png------------------------------------------------ +supplement of the angle $A$. This we may express for shortness +thus; $B'C'$ is the supplement of $A$. Similarly it may be shewn +that $C'A'$ is the supplement of $B$, and $A'B'$ the supplement of $C$. + +And since $ABC$ is the polar triangle of $A'B'C'$, it follows that +$BC$, $CA$, $AB$ are respectively the supplements of $A'$, $B'$, $C'$; that +is, $A'$, $B'$, $C'$ are respectively the supplements of $BC$, $CA$, $AB$. + +From these properties a primitive triangle and its polar triangle +are sometimes called \textit{supplemental triangles}. + +Thus, if $A$, $B$, $C$, $a$, $b$, $c$ denote respectively the angles and +the sides of a spherical triangle, all expressed in circular measure, +and $A'$, $B'$, $C'$, $a'$, $b'$, $c'$ those of the polar triangle, we have +\begin{align*} +A' &= \pi - a,& B' &= \pi - b,& C' &= \pi - c,\\ +a' &= \pi - A,& b' &= \pi - B,& c' &= \pi - C. +\end{align*} + +\paragraph{28.} The preceding result is of great importance; for if any +general theorem be demonstrated with respect to the sides and the +angles of any spherical triangle it holds of course for the polar +triangle also. \textit{Thus any such theorem will remain true when the +angles are changed into the supplements of the corresponding sides +and the sides into the supplements of the corresponding angles.} We +shall see several examples of this principle in the next Chapter. + +\paragraph{29.} \textit{Any two sides of a spherical triangle are together greater +than the third side.} (See the figure of Art.\ 18.) + +For any two of the three plane angles which form the solid +angle at $O$ are together greater than the third (Euclid, \textsc{xi}.\ 20). +Therefore any two of the arcs $AB$, $BC$, $CA$, are together greater +than the third. + +From this proposition it is obvious that any side of a spherical +triangle is greater than the difference of the other two. + +\paragraph{30.} \textit{The sum of the three sides of a spherical triangle is less than +the circumference of a great circle.} (See the figure of Art.\ 18.) +%-----File: 023.png------------------------------------------------ + +For the sum of the three plane angles which form the solid +angle at $O$ is less than four right angles (Euclid, \textsc{xi.}~21); therefore +\[ +\dfrac{AB}{OA} + \dfrac{BC}{OA} + \dfrac{CA}{OA} \text{ is less than } 2\pi, +\] +therefore,\hfill +$\displaystyle AB+BC+CD \text{ is less than } 2\pi\times OA;$\hfill\phantom{\text{therefore}}\\ +that is, the sum of the arcs is less than the circumference of a +great circle. + +\paragraph{31.} The propositions contained in the preceding two Articles +may be extended. Thus, if there be any polygon which has each +of its angles less than two right angles, \textit{any one side is less than the +sum of all the others.} This may be proved by repeated use of +Art.~29. Suppose, for example, that the figure has four sides, and +let the angular points be denoted by $A$, $B$, $C$, $D$. Then +\[ +AD+BC\text{ is greater than }AC; +\] +therefore,\hfill +$\displaystyle AB+BC+CD \text{ is greater than } AC+CD,$\hfill\phantom{\text{therefore}}\\ +and \textit{{\`a} fortiori} greater than $AD$. + +Again, if there be any polygon which has each of its angles +less than two right angles, \textit{the sum of its sides will be less than the +circumference of a great circle}. This follows from Euclid, \textsc{xi.}~21, +in the manner shewn in Art.~30. + +\paragraph{32.} \textit{The three angles of a spherical triangle are together greater +than two right angles and less than six right angles.} + +Let $A$, $B$, $C$ be the \textit{angles} of a spherical triangle; let $a'$, $b'$, $c'$ +be the \textit{sides} of the polar triangle.

In the two triangles $SAT$, $SBT$ the sides +$SA$, $AT$, $TS$ are equal to $SB$, $BT$, $TS$ respectively; therefore the +angle $SAT$ is equal to the angle $SBT$; and these are the angles at +the base of the spherical triangle. + +The figure supposes $AC$ and $BC$ to be less than quadrants; if +they are greater than quadrants the tangents to $AC$ and $BC$ will +meet on $CO$ produced through $O$ instead of through $C$, and the +demonstration may be completed as before. If $AC$ and $BC$ are +quadrants, the angles at the base are right angles by Arts.~11 +and 9. + +\paragraph{34.} \textit{If two angles of a spherical triangle are equal, the opposite +sides are equal.} + +Since the primitive triangle has two equal angles, the polar +triangle has two equal sides; therefore in the polar triangle the +angles opposite the equal sides are equal by Art.~33.

Thus any two of the five +quantities being given and a third required, some one of the preceding +ten equations will serve to determine that third quantity. + +\paragraph{63.} As we have stated, the above six formul\ae\ may be obtained +from those given in the preceding Chapter by supposing $C$ a +right angle. Thus (1) follows from Art.~39, (2) from Art.~41, +(3) from the fourth and fifth equations of Art.~44, (4) from the +first and second equations of Art.~44, (5) from the third equation +of Art.~47, (6) from the first and second equations of Art.~47. + +Since the six formul\ae\ may be obtained from those given in +the preceding Chapter which have been proved to be universally +true, we do not stop to shew that the demonstration of Art.~62 +may be applied to every case which can occur; the student may +for exercise investigate the modifications which will be necessary +when we suppose one or more of the quantities $a$, $b$, $c$, $A$, $B$ equal +to a right angle or greater than a right angle. +%-----File: 045.png------------------------------------------------ + +\paragraph{64.} Certain properties of right-angled triangles are deducible +from the formul\ae\ of Art.~62. + +From (1) it follows that $\cos c$ has the same sign as the product +$\cos a\cos b$; hence either all the cosines are positive, or else only +one is positive. Therefore \textit{in a right-angled triangle either all the +three sides are less than quadrants, or else one side is less than a +quadrant and the other two sides are greater than quadrants.} + +From (4) it follows that $\tan a$ has the same sign as $\tan A$. +Therefore $A$ and $a$ are either both greater than $\dfrac{\pi}{2}$, or both less +than $\dfrac{\pi}{2}$; this is expressed by saying that $A$ and $a$ are of the \textit{same +affection}. Similarly $B$ and $b$ are of the same affection. + +\paragraph{65.} The formul\ae\ of Art.~62 are comprised in the following +enunciations, which the student will find it useful to remember; +the results are distinguished by the same numbers as have been +already applied to them in Art.~62; the side opposite the right +angle is called the \textit{hypotenuse:} +\begin{center} +\begin{tabular}{r@{\ }l@{}l} + Cos hyp &= product of cosines of sides \dotfill&(1),\\[1ex] + Cos hyp &= product of cotangents of angles \dotfill&(5),\\[1ex] + Sine side &= sine of opposite angle $\times$ sine hyp \dotfill&(2),\\[1ex] + Tan side &= tan hyp $\times$ cos included angle \dotfill&(3),\\[1ex] + Tan side &= tan opposite angle $\times$ sine of other side \ldots\dotfill&(4),\\[1ex] + Cos angle &= cos opposite side $\times$ sine of other angle \dotfill&(6). +\end{tabular} +\end{center} + +\paragraph{66.} \textit{Napier's Rules}. The formul\ae\ of Art.~62 are comprised +in two rules, which are called, from their inventor, \textit{Napier's Rules +of Circular Parts}. Napier was also the inventor of Logarithms, +and the Rules of Circular Parts were first published by him in a +work entitled \textit{Mirifici Logarithmorum Canonis Descriptio}\dots\dots +Edinburgh, 1614. These rules we will now explain. +%-----File: 046.png------------------------------------------------ + +The right angle is left out of consideration; the two sides +which include the right angle, the complement of the hypotenuse, +and the complements of the other angles are called the \textit{circular +\begin{figure}[htp] +\centering +\includegraphics[width=5.0cm]{images/046fc} +\end{figure} +parts} of the triangle. Thus there are \textit{five} circular parts, namely, +$a$, $b$, $\dfrac{\pi}{2}-A$, $\dfrac{\pi}{2}-c$, $\dfrac{\pi}{2}-B$; and these are supposed to be ranged +round a circle in the order in which they naturally occur with +respect to the triangle. + +Any one of the five parts may be selected and called the +\textit{middle part}, then the two parts next to it are called \textit{adjacent +parts}, and the remaining two parts are called \textit{opposite parts}. For +example, if $\dfrac{\pi}{2}-B$ is selected as the middle part, then the adjacent +parts are $a$ and $\dfrac{\pi}{2}-c$, and the opposite parts are $b$ and $\dfrac{\pi}{2}-A$. + +Then Napier's Rules are the following:\\ +sine of the middle part $=$ product of tangents of adjacent parts, \\ +sine of the middle part $=$ product of cosines of opposite parts. + +\paragraph{67.} Napier's Rules may be demonstrated by shewing that +they agree with the results already established. The following +table shews the required agreement: in the first column are given +the \textit{middle parts}, in the second column the results of Napier's +Rules, and in the third column the same results expressed as in +Art.~62, with the number for reference used in that Article. +%-----File: 047.png------------------------------------------------ + +\[ +\begin{array}{@{}r@{\ } r@{\;}l@{ } r@{\;}l@{.}r} + \dfrac{\pi}{2}-c +& \sin\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-c\right) +&= \tan\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-A\right) + \tan\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-B\right) +& \cos c &= \cot A \cot B \dotfill & (5), +\\[3ex] +& \sin\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-c\right) +&= \cos a \cos b +& \cos c &= \cos a \cos b \dotfill & (1), +\\[3ex] + \dfrac{\pi}{2}-B +& \sin\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-B\right) +&= \tan a \tan\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-c\right) +& \cos B &= \tan a \cot c \dotfill & (3), +\\[3ex] +& \sin\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-B\right) +&= \cos b \cos\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-A\right) +& \cos B &= \cos b \sin A \dotfill & (6), +\\[3ex] +a& \sin a +&= \tan b \tan \left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-B\right) +& \sin a &= \tan b \cot B \ldots\dotfill & (4), +\\[3ex] +& \sin a +&= \cos\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-A\right) + \cos\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-c\right) +& \sin a &= \sin A \sin c \dotfill & (2), +\\[3ex] +b& \sin b +&= \tan\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-A\right) \tan a +& \sin b &= \cot A\tan a \dotfill & (4), +\\[3ex] +& \sin b +&= \cos\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-B\right) + \cos\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-c\right) +& \sin b &=\sin B \sin c \dotfill & (2), +\\[3ex] + \dfrac{\pi}{2}-A +& \sin\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-A\right) +&= \tan b \tan\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-c\right) +& \cos A &= \tan b\cot c \dotfill & (3), +\\[3ex] +& \sin\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-A\right) +&= \cos a \cos\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}-B\right) +& \cos A &= \cos a \sin B \dotfill & (6). +\end{array} +\] + +The last four cases need not have been given, since it is obvious +that they are only repetitions of what had previously been given; +the seventh and eighth are repetitions of the fifth and sixth, and +the ninth and tenth are repetitions of the third and fourth. + +\paragraph{68.} It has been sometimes stated that the method of the +preceding Article is the only one by which Napier's Rules can be +demonstrated; this statement, however, is inaccurate, since besides +this method Napier himself indicated another method of proof in +his \textit{Mirifici Logarithmorum Canonis Descriptio}, pp.\ 32, 35. This +we will now briefly explain. +%-----File: 048.png------------------------------------------------ +\begin{figure}[htp] +\centering +\includegraphics[width=5.0cm]{images/048fc} +\end{figure} + +Let $ABC$ be a spherical triangle right-angled at $C$; with $B$ +as pole describe a great circle $DEFG$, and with $A$ as pole describe +a great circle $HFKL$, and produce the sides of the original triangle +$ABC$ to meet these great circles. Then since $B$ is a pole of $DEFG$ +the angles at $D$ and $G$ are right angles, and since $A$ is a pole of +$HFKL$ the angles at $H$ and $L$ are right angles. Hence the five +triangles $BAC$, $AED$, $EFH$, $FKG$, $KBL$ are all \textit{right-angled}; and +moreover it will be found on examination that, although the elements +of these triangles are different, yet \textit{their circular parts are +the same}. We will consider, for example, the triangle $AED$; the +angle $EAD$ is equal to the angle $BAC$, the side $AD$ is the complement +of $AB$; as the angles at $C$ and $G$ are right angles $E$ is a +pole of $GC$ (Art.~13), therefore $EA$ is the complement of $AC$; as +$B$ is a pole of $DE$ the angle $BED$ is a right angle, therefore the +angle $AED$ is the complement of the angle $BEC$, that is, the +angle $AED$ is the complement of the side $BC$ (Art.~12); and similarly +the side $DE$ is equal to the angle $DBE$, and is therefore the +complement of the angle $ABC$. Hence, if we denote the elements +of the triangle $ABC$ as usual by $a$, $b$, $c$, $A$, $B$, we have in the +triangle $AED$ the hypotenuse equal to $\dfrac{\pi}{2} - b$, the angles equal to +$A$ and $\dfrac{\pi}{2} - a$, and the sides respectively opposite these angles equal +to $\dfrac{\pi}{2} - B$ and $\dfrac{\pi}{2} - c$. The \textit{circular parts} of $AED$ are therefore the +%-----File: 049.png------------------------------------------------ +same as those of $ABC$. Similarly the remaining three of the five +right-angled triangles may be shewn to have the same circular +parts as the triangle $ABC$ has. + +Now take \textit{two} of the theorems in Art.~65, for example (1) and +(3); then the truth of the \textit{ten} cases comprised in Napier's Rules +will be found to follow from applying the two theorems in succession +to the five triangles formed in the preceding figure. Thus +this method of considering Napier's Rules regards each Rule, not +as the statement of dissimilar properties of one triangle, but as the +statement of similar properties of five allied triangles. + +\paragraph{69.} In Napier's work a figure is given of which that in the +preceding Article is a copy, except that different letters are used; +Napier briefly intimates that the truth of the Rules can be easily +seen by means of this figure, as well as by the method of induction +from consideration of all the cases which can occur. The late +T.~S. Davies, in his edition of Dr Hutton's \textit{Course of Mathematics}, +drew attention to Napier's own views and expanded the demonstration +by a systematic examination of the figure of the preceding +Article. + +It is however easy to evade the necessity of examining the +whole figure; all that is wanted is to observe the connexion +between the triangle $AED$ and the triangle $BAC$. For let $a_1$, $a_2$, +$a_3$, $a_4$, $a_5$ represent the elements of the triangle $BAC$ taken in +order, beginning with the hypotenuse and omitting the right +angle; then the elements of the triangle $AED$ taken in order, +beginning with the hypotenuse and omitting the right angle, are +$\dfrac{\pi}{2} - a_3$, $\dfrac{\pi}{2} - a_4$, $\dfrac{\pi}{2} - a_5$, +$\dfrac{\pi}{2} - a_1$, and $a_2$. If, therefore, to characterise +the former we introduce a new set of quantities $p_1$, $p_2$, $p_3$, $p_4$, $p_5$, +such that $a_1 + p_1 = a_2 + p_2 = a_5 + p_5 = \dfrac{\pi}{2}$, and that $p_3 = a_3$ and $p_4 = a_4$, +then the original triangle being characterised by $p_1$, $p_2$, $p_3$, $p_4$, $p_5$, +the second triangle will be similarly characterised by $p_3$, $p_4$, $p_5$, +$p_1$, $p_2$. As the second triangle can give rise to a third in like +manner, and so on, we see that every right-angled triangle is one +%-----File: 050.png------------------------------------------------ +of a system of five such triangles which are all characterised by +the quantities $p_1$, $p_2$, $p_3$, $p_4$, $p_5$, always taken in order, each +quantity in its turn standing first. + +The late R.~L.\ Ellis pointed out this connexion between the +five triangles, and thus gave the true significance of Napier's +Rules. The memoir containing Mr Ellis's investigations, which +was unpublished when the first edition of the present work appeared, +will be found in pages 328\ldots335 of \textit{The Mathematical and +other writings of Robert Leslie Ellis}\dots Cambridge, 1863. + +Napier's own method of considering his Rules was neglected +by writers on the subject until the late T.~S.\ Davies drew attention +to it. Hence, as we have already remarked in Art.\ 68, an +erroneous statement was made respecting the Rules. For instance, +Woodhouse says, in his \textit{Trigonometry}: ``There is no separate +and independent proof of these rules;\ldots.'' Airy says, in the +treatise on Trigonometry in the \textit{Encyclop\ae dia Metropolitana}: +``These rules are proved to be true only by showing that they comprehend +all the equations which we have just found.'' + +\paragraph{70.} Opinions have differed with respect to the \textit{utility} of +Napier's Rules in practice. Thus Woodhouse says, ``In the whole +compass of mathematical science there cannot be found, perhaps, +rules which more completely attain that which is the proper +object of rules, namely, facility and brevity of computation.'' +(\textit{Trigonometry}, chap.\ \textsc{x}.) On the other hand may be set the following +sentence from Airy's Trigonometry (\textit{Encyclop\ae dia Metropolitana}): +``In the opinion of Delambre (and no one was better +qualified by experience to give an opinion) these theorems are best +recollected by the practical calculator in their unconnected form.'' +See Delambre's \textit{Astronomie}, vol.~\textsc{i}.\ p.~205. Professor De Morgan +strongly objects to Napier's Rules, and says (\textit{Spherical Trigonometry}, +Art.~17): ``There are certain mnemonical formul\ae\ called +\textit{Napier's Rules of Circular Parts}, which are generally explained. +We do not give them, because we are convinced that they only +create confusion instead of assisting the memory.'' +%-----File: 051.png------------------------------------------------ + +\paragraph{71.} We shall now proceed to apply the formul\ae\ of Art.\ 62 +to the solution of right-angled triangles. We shall assume that +the given quantities are subject to the limitations which are stated +in Arts.\ 22 and 23, that is, a given side must be less than the +semicircumference of a great circle, and a given angle less than +two right angles. There will be six cases to consider. + +\paragraph{72.} \textit{Having given the hypotenuse $\mathrm{c}$ and an angle $\mathrm{A}$.} + +Here we have from (3), (5) and (2) of Art.\ 62, +\[ +\tan b = \tan c \cos A,\quad \cot B = \cos c \tan A,\quad \sin a = \sin c \sin A. +\] + +Thus $b$ and $B$ are determined immediately without ambiguity; +and as $a$ must be of the same affection as $A$ (Art.\ 64), $a$ also is +determined without ambiguity. + +It is obvious from the formul\ae\ of solution, that in this case +the triangle is always possible. + +If $c$ and $A$ are both right angles, $a$ is a right angle, and $b$ and +$B$ are indeterminate. + +\paragraph{73.} \textit{Having given a side $\mathrm{b}$ and the adjacent angle $\mathrm{A}$.} + +Here we have from (3), (4) and (6) of Art.\ 62, +\[ +\tan c=\dfrac{\tan b}{\cos A},\quad \tan a = \tan A \sin b,\quad \cos B = \cos b \sin A. +\] + +Here $c$, $a$, $B$ are determined without ambiguity, and the triangle +is always possible. + +\paragraph{74.} \textit{Having given the two sides $\mathrm{a}$ and $\mathrm{b}$.} + +Here we have from (1) and (4) of Art.\ 62, +\[ +\cos c = \cos a \cos b,\quad \cot A = \cot a \sin b,\quad \cot B = \cot b \sin a. +\] + +Here $c$, $A$, $B$ are determined without ambiguity, and the triangle +is always possible. + +\paragraph{75.} \textit{Having given the hypotenuse $\mathrm{c}$ and a side $\mathrm{a}$.} + +Here we have from (1), (3) and (2) of Art.\ 62, +\[ +\cos b=\dfrac{\cos c}{\cos a},\quad \cos B=\dfrac{\tan a}{\tan c},\quad \sin A=\dfrac{\sin a}{\sin c}. +\] +%-----File: 052.png------------------------------------------------ + +Here $b$, $B$, $A$ are determined without ambiguity, since $A$ must +be of the same affection as $a$. It will be seen from these formul\ae\ +that there are limitations of the data in order to insure a possible +triangle; in fact, $c$ must lie between $a$ and $\pi - a$ in order that the +values found for $\cos b$, $\cos B$, and $\sin A$ may be numerically not +greater than unity. + +If $c$ and $a$ are right angles, $A$ is a right angle, and $b$ and $B$ are +indeterminate. + +\paragraph{76.} \textit{Having given the two angles $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$.} + +Here we have from (5) and (6) of Art.\ 62, +\[ +\cos c = \cot A \cot B, \qquad +\cos a = \frac{\cos A}{\sin B}, \qquad +\cos b = \frac{\cos B}{\sin A}. +\] + +Here $c$, $a$, $b$ are determined without ambiguity. There are +limitations of the data in order to insure a possible triangle. First +suppose $A$ less than $\dfrac{\pi}{2}$, then $B$ must lie between $\dfrac{\pi}{2} - A$ and $\dfrac{\pi}{2} + A$; +next suppose $A$ greater than $\dfrac{\pi}{2}$, then $B$ must lie between +$\dfrac{\pi}{2} - (\pi - A)$ and +$\dfrac{\pi}{2} + (\pi - A)$, that is, between +$A - \dfrac{\pi}{2}$ and $\dfrac{3\pi}{2} - A$. + +\paragraph{77.} \textit{Having given a side $\mathrm a$ and the opposite angle $\mathrm A$.} + +Here we have from (2), (4) and (6) of Art.\ 62, +\[ +\sin c = \dfrac{\sin a}{\sin A}, \qquad +\sin b = \tan a\, \cot A, \qquad +\sin B = \dfrac{\cos A}{\cos a}. +\] + +Here there is an ambiguity, as the parts are determined from +their sines. If $\sin a$ be less than $\sin A$, there are two values +admissible for $c$; corresponding to each of these there will be +\textit{in general} only one admissible value of $b$, since we must have +$\cos c = \cos a\, \cos b$, and only one admissible value of $B$, since we +must have $\cos c = \cot A \cot B$. Thus if one triangle exists with the +given parts, there will be \textit{in general} two, and only two, triangles +with the given parts. We say \textit{in general} in the preceding sentences, +because if $a = A$ there will be only \textit{one} triangle, unless $a$ +%-----File: 053.png------------------------------------------------ +and $A$ are each right angles, and then $b$ and $B$ become indeterminate. + +It is easy to see from a figure that the ambiguity must occur +in general. +\begin{figure}[htp] +\centering +\includegraphics[width=5.0cm]{images/053fc} +\end{figure} + +For, suppose $BAC$ to be a triangle which satisfies the given +conditions; produce $AB$ and $AC$ to meet again at $A'$; then the +triangle $A'BC$ also satisfies the given conditions, for it has a right +angle at $C$, $BC$ the given side, and $A' = A$ the given angle. + +If $a = A$, then the formul\ae\ of solution shew that $c$, $b$, and $B$ +are right angles; in this case $A$ is the pole of $BC$, and the triangle +$A'BC$ is symmetrically equal to the triangle $ABC$ (Art.\ 57). + +If $a$ and $A$ are both right angles, $B$ is the pole of $AC$; $B$ and $b$ +are then equal, but may have any value whatever. + +There are limitations of the data in order to insure a possible +triangle. $A$ and $a$ must have the same affection by Art.\ 64; hence +the formul\ae\ of solution shew that $a$ must be less than $A$ if both +are acute, and greater than $A$ if both are obtuse. + +\section*{\centering\normalsize EXAMPLES.} + +If $ABC$ be a triangle in which the angle $C$ is a right angle, +prove the following relations contained in Examples 1 to 5. +\medskip + +1. $\operatorname{Sin}^2\dfrac{c}{2} = + \sin^2 \dfrac{a}{2}\, \cos^2 \dfrac{b}{2} + + \cos^2 \dfrac{a}{2}\, \sin^2 \dfrac{b}{2}$. +\medskip + +2. $\operatorname{Tan}\tfrac{1}{2}(c + a)\, + \tan \tfrac{1}{2}(c - a) = + \tan^2 \dfrac{b}{2}$. +\medskip + +3. $\operatorname{Sin}(c - b) = \tan^2 \dfrac{A}{2}\,\sin(c + b)$. +%-----File: 054.png------------------------------------------------ +\medskip + +4. $\operatorname{Sin} a\, \tan \tfrac{1}{2}A + - \sin b\, \tan \tfrac{1}{2}B = \sin (a - b)$. + +\begin{flalign*} +\rlap{\indent 5.} && \operatorname{Sin} (c - a) +&= \sin b\, \cos a\, \tan \tfrac{1}{2}B, &&\\ +&& \operatorname{Sin} (c - a) +&= \tan b\, \cos c\, \tan \tfrac{1}{2}B. && +\end{flalign*} + +6.

If the pole of the circumscribing circle +falls inside each triangle, then each triangle is the sum of three +isosceles triangles, and if the pole falls outside each triangle, then +each triangle is the excess of two isosceles triangles over a third; +and in each case the isosceles triangles of one set are respectively +\textit{absolutely equal} to the corresponding isosceles triangles of the +other set. + +\paragraph{99.} \textit{To find the area of a spherical polygon.} + +Let $n$ be the number of sides of the polygon, $\Sigma$ the sum of all +its angles.

We shall give a brief outline of the subject, and for +further information refer to Woodhouse's \textit{Trigonometry}, to the +article \textit{Geodesy} in the \textit{English Cyclop\ae dia}, and to Airy's treatise +on the \textit{Figure of the Earth} in the \textit{Encyclop\ae dia Metropolitana}. +For practical knowledge of the details of the operations it will +be necessary to study some of the published accounts of the great +surveys which have been effected in different parts of the world, +as for example, the \textit{Account of the measurement of two sections of +the Meridional arc of India}, by Lieut.-Colonel Everest, 1847; or +the \textit{Account of the Observations and Calculations of the Principal +Triangulation in the Ordnance Survey of Great Britain +and Ireland}, 1858. + +\paragraph{115.} An important part of any survey consists in the measurement +of a horizontal line, which is called a \textit{base}. A level plain +of a few miles in length is selected and a line is measured on it with +every precaution to ensure accuracy. Rods of deal, and of metal, +hollow tubes of glass, and steel chains, have been used in different +surveys; the temperature is carefully observed during the operations, +and allowance is made for the varying lengths of the rods +or chains, which arise from variations in the temperature. + +\paragraph{116.} At various points of the country suitable stations are +selected and signals erected; then by supposing lines to be drawn +connecting the signals, the country is divided into a series of +triangles. The angles of these triangles are observed, that is, the +angles which any two signals subtend at a third. For example, +suppose $A$ and $B$ to denote the extremities of the \textit{base}, and $C$ a +%-----File: 096.png------------------------------------------------ +signal at a third point visible from $A$ and $B$; then in the triangle +$ABC$ the angles $ABC$ and $BAC$ are observed, and then $AC$ and $BC$ +can be calculated. Again, let $D$ be a signal at a fourth point, +such that it is visible from $C$ and $A$; then the angles $ACD$ and +$CAD$ are observed, and as $AC$ is known, $CD$ and $AD$ can be +calculated. + +\paragraph{117.} Besides the original \textit{base} other lines are measured in +convenient parts of the country surveyed, and their measured lengths +are compared with their lengths obtained by calculation through a +series of triangles from the original base. The degree of closeness +with which the measured length agrees with the calculated +length is a test of the accuracy of the survey. During the progress +of the Ordnance Survey of Great Britain and Ireland, several +lines have been measured; the last two are, one near Lough +Foyle in Ireland, which was measured in 1827 and 1828, and one +on Salisbury Plain, which was measured in 1849. The line near +Lough Foyle is nearly 8 miles long, and the line on Salisbury +Plain is nearly 7 miles long; and the difference between the length +of the line on Salisbury Plain as measured and as calculated from +the Lough Foyle base is less than 5 inches (\textit{An Account of the +Observations~\ldots} page~419). + +\paragraph{118.} There are different methods of effecting the calculations +for determining the lengths of the sides of all the triangles in the +survey. One method is to use the exact formul\ae\ of Spherical +Trigonometry. The radius of the Earth may be considered known +very approximately; let this radius be denoted by $r$, then if $\alpha$ be +the length of any arc the circular measure of the angle which the +arc subtends at the centre of the earth is $\dfrac{\alpha}{r}$. The formul\ae\ of +Spherical Trigonometry gives expressions for the trigonometrical +functions of $\dfrac{\alpha}{r}$, so that $\dfrac{\alpha}{r}$ may be found and then $\alpha$. Since in +practice $\dfrac{\alpha}{r}$ is always very small, it becomes necessary to pay +%-----File: 097.png------------------------------------------------ +attention to the methods of securing accuracy in calculations +which involve the logarithmic trigonometrical functions of small +angles (\textit{Plane Trigonometry}, Art.~205). + +Instead of the exact calculation of the triangles by Spherical +Trigonometry, various methods of approximation have been proposed; +only two of these methods however have been much used. +One method of approximation consists in deducing from the angles +of the spherical triangles the angles of the \textit{chordal triangles}, and +then computing the latter triangles by Plane Trigonometry (see +Art.\ 105). The other method of approximation consists in the +use of Legendre's Theorem (see Art.~106). + +\paragraph{119.} The three methods which we have indicated were all +used by Delambre in calculating the triangles in the French +survey (\textit{Base du Syst\`eme M\'etrique}, Tome~\textsc{iii}.\ page~7). In the +earlier operations of the Trigonometrical survey of Great Britain +and Ireland, the triangles were calculated by the chord method; +but this has been for many years discontinued, and in place of it +Legendre's Theorem has been universally adopted (\textit{An Account +of the Observations~\ldots} page~244). The triangles in the Indian +Survey are stated by Lieut.-Colonel Everest to be computed on +Legendre's Theorem. (\textit{An Account of the Measurement~\ldots} page +\textsc{clviii}.) + +\paragraph{120.} If the three angles of a plane triangle be observed, the +fact that their sum ought to be equal to two right angles affords a +test of the accuracy with which the observations are made. We +shall proceed to shew how a test of the accuracy of observations of +the angles of a spherical triangle formed on the Earth's surface +may be obtained by means of the \textit{spherical excess}. + +\paragraph{121.} \textit{The area of a spherical triangle formed on the Earth's +surface being known in square feet, it is required to establish a rule +for computing the spherical excess in seconds.} + +Let $n$ be the number of seconds in the spherical excess, $s$ the +number of square feet in the area of the triangle, $r$ the number of +%-----File: 098.png------------------------------------------------ +feet in the radius of the Earth. Then if $E$ be the circular measure +of the spherical excess, +\[ +s=Er^2, +\] +and $\hfill\displaystyle +E=\frac{n\pi}{180\centerdot 60\centerdot 60} += \frac{n}{206265}\ \text{ approximately;} +\hfill$\phantom{and }\\[1.5ex] +therefore $\hfill\displaystyle +s=\frac{nr^2}{206265}\,. +\hfill$\phantom{therefore }\\[1ex] + +Now by actual measurement the mean length of a degree on +the Earth's surface is found to be 365155 feet; thus +\[ +\frac{\pi r}{180}=365155. +\] + +With the value of $r$ obtained from this equation it is found by +logarithmic calculation, that +\[ +\log n = \log s - 9.326774. +\] +Hence $n$ is known when $s$ is known. + +This formula is called General Roy's rule, as it was used by +him in the Trigonometrical survey of Great Britain and Ireland. +Mr Davies, however, claims it for Mr Dalby. (See Hutton's +\textit{Course of Mathematics}, by Davies, Vol.~\textsc{ii}.\ p.~47.) + +\paragraph{122.} In order to apply General Roy's rule, we must know +the area of the spherical triangle. Now the area is not known +\textit{exactly} unless the elements of the spherical triangle are known +\textit{exactly}; but it is found that in such cases as occur in practice an +approximate value of the area is sufficient. Suppose, for example, +that we use the area of the \textit{plane triangle} considered in Legendre's +Theorem, instead of the area of the \textit{Spherical Triangle itself;} +then it appears from Art.\ 109, that the error is approximately +denoted by the fraction $\dfrac{\alpha^2+\beta^2+\gamma^2}{24r^2}$ of the former area, and this +fraction is less than $.0001$, if the sides do not exceed 100 miles +in length. Or again, suppose we want to estimate the influence +of errors in the angles on the calculation of the area; let the +%-----File: 099.png------------------------------------------------ +circular measure of an error be $h$, so that instead of $\dfrac{\alpha\beta\sin C}{2}$ +we ought to use $\dfrac{\alpha\beta\sin(C+h)}{2}$; the error then bears to the area +approximately the ratio expressed by $h\cot C$. Now in modern +observations $h$ will not exceed the circular measure of a few +seconds, so that, if $C$ be not very small, $h\cot C$ is practically insensible. + +\paragraph{123.} The following example was selected by Woodhouse from +the triangles of the English survey, and has been adopted by other +writers. The observed angles of a triangle being respectively +$42^\circ\, 2'\, 32''$, $67^\circ\, 55'\, 39''$, $70^\circ\, 1'\, 48''$, the sum of the errors made +in the observations is required, supposing the side opposite to the +angle $A$ to be $27404.2$ feet. The area is calculated from the expression +$\dfrac{a^2\sin B\sin C}{2\sin A}$, and by General Roy's rule it is found +that $n=.23$. Now the sum of the observed angles is $180^\circ-1''$, +and as it ought to have been $180^\circ +.23''$, it follows that the sum +of the errors of the observations is $1''.23$. This total error may +be distributed among the observed angles in such proportion as +the opinion of the observer may suggest; one way is to increase +each of the observed angles by one-third of $1''.23$, and take the +angles thus corrected for the true angles. + +\paragraph{124.} An investigation has been made with respect to the +form of a triangle, in which errors in the observations of the +angles will exercise the least influence on the lengths of the sides, +and although the reasoning is allowed to be vague it may be +deserving of the attention of the student. Suppose the three +angles of a triangle observed, and one side, as $a$, known, it is +required to find the form of the triangle in order that the other +sides may be least affected by errors in the observations. The +spherical excess of the triangle may be supposed known with +sufficient accuracy for practice, and if the sum of the observed +angles does not exceed two right angles by the proper spherical +excess, let these angles be altered by adding the same quantity to +%-----File: 100.png------------------------------------------------ +each, so as to make their sum correct. Let $A$, $B$, $C$ be the angles +thus furnished by observation and altered if necessary; and let +$\delta A$, $\delta B$ and $\delta C$ denote the respective errors of $A$, $B$ and $C$. Then +$\delta A + \delta B + \delta C = 0$, because by supposition the sum of $A$, $B$ and $C$ +is correct. Considering the triangle as approximately plane, the +true value of the side $c$ is $\dfrac{a \sin (C + \delta C)}{\sin (A + \delta A)}$, that is, $\dfrac{a \sin (C + \delta C)}{\sin (A - \delta B - \delta C)}$. +Now approximately +\begin{align*} +& \sin (C + \delta C) = \sin C + \delta C \cos C,\quad +\text{(\textit{Plane Trig.}\ Chap.~\textsc{xii.})}, +\\ +& \sin (A - \delta B - \delta C) = \sin A - (\delta B + \delta C) \cos A. +\end{align*} + +Hence approximately +\begin{align*} +c &= \frac{a \sin C}{\sin A} + \Bigl\{1 + \delta C \cot C \Bigr\} + \Bigl\{1 -(\delta B + \delta C) \cot A \Bigr\}^{-1} +\\[1.5ex] + &= \frac{a \sin C}{\sin A} + \Bigl\{1 + \delta B \cot A + \delta C (\cot C + \cot A) \Bigr\}; +\end{align*} +and $\cot C + \cot A = \dfrac{\sin (A + C)}{\sin A \sin C} = \dfrac{\sin B}{\sin A \sin C}$ approximately.\\[1ex] + +Hence the error of $c$ is approximately +\[ +\frac{a \sin B}{\sin^2 A} \delta C + \frac{a \sin C \cos A}{\sin^2 A)} \delta B. +\] + +Similarly the error of $b$ is approximately +\[ +\frac{a \sin C}{\sin^2 A} \delta B + \frac{a \sin B \cos A}{\sin^2 A} \delta C. +\] + +Now it is impossible to assign exactly the signs and magnitudes +of the errors $\delta B$ and $\delta C$, so that the reasoning must be vague. It +is obvious that to make the error small $\sin A$ must not be small. +And as the sum of $\delta A$, $\delta B$ and $\delta C$ is zero, two of them must have +the same sign, and the third the opposite sign; we may therefore +consider that it is more probable than any two as $\delta B$ and $\delta C$ have +different signs, than that they have the same sign. +%-----File: 101.png------------------------------------------------ + +If $\delta B$ and $\delta C$ have different signs the errors of $b$ and $c$ will +be less when $\cos A$ is positive than when $\cos A$ is negative; +$A$ therefore ought to be less than a right angle. And if $\delta B$ and +$\delta C$ are probably not very different, $B$ and $C$ should be nearly +equal. These conditions will be satisfied by a triangle differing +not much from an equilateral triangle. + +If two angles only, $A$ and $B$, be observed, we obtain the same +expressions as before for the errors in $b$ and $c$; but we have +no reason for considering that $\delta B$ and $\delta C$ are of different signs +rather than of the same sign. In this case then the supposition +that $A$ is a right angle will probably make the errors smallest. + +\paragraph{125.} The preceding article is taken from the Treatise on +Trigonometry in the \textit{Encyclop\ae dia Metropolitana}. The least +satisfactory part is that in which it is considered that $\delta B$ and $\delta C$ +may be supposed nearly equal; for since $\delta A + \delta B + \delta C = 0$, if we +suppose $\delta B$ and $\delta C$ nearly equal and of opposite signs, we do in +effect suppose $\delta A = 0$ nearly; thus in observing three angles, we +suppose that in one observation a certain error is made, in a +second observation the same numerical error is made but with +an opposite sign, and in the remaining observation no error is +made. + +\paragraph{126.} We have hitherto proceeded on the supposition that the +Earth is a sphere; it is however approximately a spheroid of small +eccentricity. For the small corrections which must in consequence +be introduced into the calculations we must refer to the works +named in Art.\ 114. One of the results obtained is that the error +caused by regarding the Earth as a sphere instead of a spheroid increases +with the departure of the triangle from the well-conditioned +or equilateral form (\textit{An Account of the Observations~\ldots} page~243). +Under certain circumstances the spherical excess is the same on a +spheroid as on a sphere (\textit{Figure of the Earth} in the \textit{Encyclop\ae dia +Metropolitana}, pages 198 and 215). + +\paragraph{127.} In geodetical operations it is sometimes required to determine +the horizontal angle between two points, which are at a +%-----File: 102.png------------------------------------------------ +small angular distance from the horizon, the angle which the +objects subtend being known, and also the angles of elevation +or depression. +\begin{figure}[htp] +\centering +\includegraphics[width=5.0cm]{images/102fc} +\end{figure} + +Suppose $OA$ and $OB$ the directions in which the two points +are seen from $O$; and let the angle $AOB$ be observed.

Hence the result expresses the general value +of $\Sigma$ in terms of the cosines of the arcs which join $T$ to the fixed +points $A$, $B$, $C$, and the particular values of $\Sigma$ which correspond +to these three points. +%-----File: 138.png------------------------------------------------ + +\paragraph{170.} We shall now transform the result of Art.~168. +\begin{flalign*} +&\text{\indent Let }&& +G=\surd{(P^2+Q^2+R^2)}; +&\phantom{\indent Let }& +\end{flalign*} +and let $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\gamma$ be three arcs determined by the equations +\[ +\cos \alpha = \frac{P}{G},\ \cos \beta \frac{Q}{G},\ \cos\gamma \frac{R}{G}; +\] +then\hfill +$\Sigma=G(\lambda \cos \alpha + \mu \cos \beta + \nu \cos \gamma)$. +\hfill\phantom{\text{then}} + +Since $\cos^2\alpha +\cos^2\beta+\cos^2\gamma = 1$, it is obvious that there will be +some point on the surface of the sphere, such that $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\gamma$ are the +arcs which join it to $A$, $B$, $C$ respectively; denote this point by +$U$: then, by Art.~166, +\[ +\cos TU= \lambda \cos \alpha + \mu \cos \beta + \nu \cos \gamma; +\] +and finally +\[ +\Sigma=G \cos TU. +\] + +Thus, whatever may be the position of $T$, the sum of the cosines +of the arcs which join $T$ to the fixed points varies as the cosine +of the single arc which joins $T$ to a certain fixed point $U$. + +We might take $G$ either positive or negative; it will be +convenient to suppose it positive. + +\paragraph{171.} A sphere is described about a regular polyhedron; +from any point on the surface of the sphere arcs are drawn to the +solid angles of the polyhedron: to shew that the sum of the cosines +of these arcs is zero. + +From the preceding Article we see that if $G$ is not zero +there is \textit{one} position of $T$ which gives to $\Sigma$ its greatest positive +value, namely, when $T$ coincides with $U$.

For instance, if we +take a regular tetrahedron, as there are four faces there will at +least be \textit{three other} positions of $T$ symmetrical with any assigned +position. + +Hence $G$ must be zero; and thus the \textit{sum of the cosines of the +arcs which join $\mathrm{T}$ to the solid angles of the regular polyhedron is +zero for all positions of $\mathrm{T}$.} +%-----File: 139.png------------------------------------------------ + +\paragraph{172.} Since $G=0$, it follows that $P$, $Q$, $R$ must each be zero; +these indeed are particular cases of the general result of Art.\ 171. +See Art.\ 169. + +\paragraph{173.} The result obtained in Art.\ 171 may be shewn to hold +also in some other cases.

Suppose that $A$ has this position, or one +of these positions if there are more than one. When $T$ is at $A$ +we have $\mu$ and $\nu$ each zero, and $\lambda$ equal to unity, so that $\Sigma$ is then +equal to $P$. + +Hence, whatever be the position of $T$, +$P$ is never less than $P\lambda^2+Q\mu^2+R\nu^2+2p\mu\nu+2q\nu\lambda+2r\lambda\mu$, +that is, by Art.~165, +\begin{gather*} +P(\lambda^2+\mu^2+\nu^2) \text{ is never less than} +\\ +P\lambda^2+Q\mu^2+R\nu^2+2p\mu\nu+2q\nu\lambda+2r\lambda\mu; +\end{gather*} +therefore\\[-2ex] +\[ +(P-Q)\mu^2+(P-R)\nu^2\text{ is never less than }2p\mu\nu+2q\nu\lambda+2r\lambda\mu. +\] + +Now suppose $\nu = 0$; then $T$ is situated on the great circle of +which $AB$ is a quadrant, and whatever be the position of $T$ we +have +\begin{flalign*} +&& (P-Q)\mu^2\text{ not less than } 2r\lambda\mu, && +\\ +&\text{and therefore }& +\multispan{2}{\hfill$ +P-Q\text{ not less than } \dfrac{2r\lambda}{\mu}. +$\hfill} &\phantom{and therefore }& +\end{flalign*} + +But now $\dfrac{\lambda}{\mu}$ is equal to $\dfrac{\cos TA}{\cos TB}$; this is numerically equal to +$\tan TB$, and so may be made numerically as great as we please, +positive or negative, by giving a suitable position to $T$. Thus +$P-Q$ must in some cases be less than $\dfrac{2r\lambda}{\mu}$ if $r$ have any value different +from zero. + +Therefore $r$ must $= 0$. + +In like manner we can shew that $q$ must $= 0$. +%-----File: 141.png------------------------------------------------ + +Hence with the specified position for $A$ we arrive at the result +that whatever may be the position of $T$ +\[ +\Sigma = P\lambda^2+Q\mu^2+R\nu^2+2p\mu\,\nu. +\] + +Let us now suppose that the position of $B$ is so taken that +when $T$ coincides with $B$ the value of $\Sigma$ is as large as it can be +for any point in the great circle of which $A$ is the pole. When $T$ +is at $B$ we have $\lambda$ and $\nu$ each zero, and $\mu$ equal to unity, so that +$\Sigma$ is then equal to $Q$.

For if they are not, one of them must be greater than +each of the others, or one of them must be less than each of the +others. + +If possible let the former be the case; suppose that $P$ is +greater than $Q$, and greater than $R$. +\begin{flalign*} +&\text{\indent Now }& \Sigma &= P(1 - \mu^2 - \nu^2) + Q\mu^2 + R\nu^2&\phantom{\indent Now}\\ +&&& = P - (P - Q)\mu^2 - (P - R)\nu^2; +\end{flalign*} +this shews that $\Sigma$ is \textit{always less than} $P$ except when $\mu = 0$ and +$\nu = 0$: that is $\Sigma$ \textit{is always less than} $P$ except when $T$ is at $A$, or +at the point of the surface which is diametrically opposite to $A$. +But by the symmetry of a regular polyhedron there must always +be more than \textit{two} positions of $T$ which give the same value to $\Sigma$. +For instance if we take a regular tetrahedron, as there are \textit{four} +faces there will be at least \textit{three other} positions of $T$ symmetrical +with any assigned position. Hence $P$ cannot be greater than $Q$ +and greater than $R$. + +In the same way we can shew that one of the three $P$, $Q$, +and $R$, cannot be less than each of the others. + +Therefore $P = Q = R$; and therefore by Art.\ 165 for \textit{every +position} of $T$ we have $\Sigma = P$. + +Since $P = Q = R$ each of them $= \frac{1}{3}(P + Q + R)$ +\begin{align*} +&= \frac13 \{{l_1}^2 + {m_1}^2 + {n_1}^2 + {l_2}^2 + {m_2}^2 + {n_2}^2 + \dots\}\\[1.5ex] +&= \frac{S}{3}, \text{ by Art.\ 165}, +\end{align*} +where $S$ is the number of the solid angles of the regular polyhedron. +%-----File: 143.png------------------------------------------------ + +\textit{Thus the sum of the squares of the cosines of the arcs which +join any point on the surface of the sphere to the solid angles of +the regular polyhedron is one third of the number of the solid +angles.} + +\paragraph{178.} Since $P=Q=R$ in the preceding Article, it will follow +that when the fixed points of Art.\ 174 are the solid angles of +a regular polyhedron, then for \textit{any} position of the spherical triangle +$ABC$ we shall have $p=0$, $q=0$, $r=0$. + +For taking any position for the spherical triangle $ABC$ we +have +\[ +\Sigma = P\lambda^2 + Q\mu^2 + R\nu^2 + 2p\mu\nu + 2q\nu\lambda + 2r\lambda\mu; +\] +then at $A$ we have $\mu = 0$ and $\nu = 0$, so that $P$ is then the value +of $\Sigma$; similarly $Q$ and $R$ are the values of $\Sigma$ at $B$ and $C$ respectively. +But by Art.\ 177 we have the same value for $\Sigma$ whatever +be the position of $T$; thus +\begin{flalign*} +&\phantom{therefore}&&&\phantom{therefore}&\\[-\baselineskip] +&&\multispan{2}{\hfil$P = P(\lambda^2 + \mu^2 + \nu^2) + 2p\mu\nu + 2q\nu\lambda + 2r\lambda\mu$;\hfil}&\\ +&\text{therefore}&\multispan{2}{\hfil$0 = 2p\mu\nu + 2q\nu\lambda + 2r\lambda\mu$.\hfil} +\end{flalign*} + +This holds then for every position of $T$.

It will be found on examination that if +$S$ be the number of solid angles, and $F$ the number of faces of one +regular polyhedron, then another regular polyhedron exists which +has $S$ faces and $F$ solid angles. See Art.~151. + +\paragraph{194.} \textit{Polyhedrons.} The result in Art.~150 was first obtained +by Euler; the demonstration which is there given is due to +Legendre. The demonstration shews that the result is true in +many cases in which the polyhedron has \textit{re-entrant} solid angles; +for all that is necessary for the demonstration is, that it shall be +possible to take a point within the polyhedron as the centre of a +sphere, so that the polygons, formed as in Art.~150, shall not have +any coincident portions. The result, however, is generally true, +even in cases in which the condition required by the demonstration +of Art.~150 is not satisfied. We shall accordingly give +another demonstration, and shall then deduce some important +consequences from the result. We begin with a theorem which +is due to Cauchy. + +\paragraph{195.} \textit{Let there be any network of rectilineal figures, not necessarily +in one plane, but not forming a closed surface; let $\mathrm E$ be the +number of edges, $\mathrm F$ the number of figures, and $\mathrm S$ the number of +corner points: then $\mathrm{F + S = E + 1 }$.} + +This theorem is obviously true in the case of a single plane +figure; for then $F = 1$, and $S = E$. It can be shewn to be generally +true by induction. For assume the theorem to be true for +a network of $F$ figures; and suppose that a rectilineal figure of +$n$ sides is added to this network, so that the network and the +additional figure have $m$ sides coincident, and therefore $m + 1$ +%-----File: 152.png------------------------------------------------ +corner points coincident.

Thus +\begin{flalign*} +& & F-1+S &= E + 1; &&\\ +&\text{therefore }& F + S &= E + 2. &\phantom{therefore }& +\end{flalign*} + +\paragraph{197.} \textit{In any polyhedron the number of faces with an odd +number of sides is even, and the number of solid angles formed +with an odd number of plane angles is even.} + +Let $a$, $b$, $c$, $d$,\ldots\ldots denote respectively the numbers of faces +which are triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons,\ldots\ldots. +Let $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\gamma$, $\delta$,\ldots\ldots denote respectively the numbers of the solid +angles which are formed with three, four, five, six,\ldots\ldots plane +angles. + +Then, each edge belongs to \textit{two} faces, and terminates at \textit{two} +solid angles; therefore +\begin{align*} + & 2E=3a+4b+5c+6d+ \ldots\ldots, \\ + & 2E= 3 \alpha + 4 \beta + 5 \gamma + 6 \delta + \ldots\ldots. +\end{align*} + +From these relations it follows that $a + c + e + \ldots\ldots$, and +$\alpha + \gamma + \epsilon + \ldots\ldots$ are \textit{even} numbers. + +\paragraph{198.} With the notation of the preceding Article we have +\begin{align*} + & F=a+b+c+d+ \ldots\ldots, \\ + & S= \alpha + \beta + \gamma + \delta + \ldots\ldots. +\end{align*} + +From these combined with the former relations we obtain +\begin{align*} + & 2E-3F = b + 2c + 3d + \ldots\ldots, \\ + & 2E-3S = \beta + 2 \gamma + 3 \delta + \ldots\ldots. +\end{align*} + +Thus $2E$ cannot be less than $3F$, or less than $3S$. +%-----File: 153.png------------------------------------------------ + +\paragraph{199.} From the expressions for $E$, $F$, and $S$, given in the +two preceding Articles, combined with the result $2F + 2S=4 + 2E$, +we obtain +\begin{gather*} + 2 (a + b + c + d + \ldots) ++ 2 (\alpha + \beta + \gamma + \delta + \ldots) += 4 + 3a + 4b + 5c + 6d + \ldots, +\\ + 2 (a + b + c + d + \ldots) ++ 2 (\alpha + \beta + \gamma + \delta + \ldots) += 4 + 3 \alpha + 4 \beta + 5 \gamma + 6 \delta + \ldots, +\end{gather*} +therefore $\hfill + 2 (\alpha + \beta + \gamma + \delta + \ldots) +- (a + 2b + 3c + 4d + \ldots) += 4$, \hfill(1) +\\ +\phantom{therefore} $\hfill + 2 (a + b + c + d + \ldots) +- (\alpha + 2 \beta + 3 \gamma + 4 \delta + \ldots) += 4$.\hfill(2) + +Therefore, by addition +\[ +a + \alpha - (c + \gamma) - 2 (d + \delta) - 3 (e + \epsilon) - \ldots\ldots = 8. +\] + +\textit{Thus the number of triangular faces together with the number +of solid angles formed with three plane angles cannot be less +than eight.} + +Again, from (1) and (2), by eliminating $\alpha$, we obtain +\[ +3a + 2b + c - e - 2f - \ldots\ldots -2\beta - 4\gamma - \ldots\ldots = 12, +\] +so that $3a + 2b + c$ cannot be less than 12.

There are a lot of things you can do with Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this +agreement and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm +electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below. + +1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the +Foundation" or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection +of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.

If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in the +United States and you are located in the United States, we do not +claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing, +displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as +all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope +that you will support the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting +free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm +works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the +Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with the work. You can easily +comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the +same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg-tm License when +you share it without charge with others. + +1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern +what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are +in a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States, +check the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this +agreement before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, +distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any +other Project Gutenberg-tm work. The Foundation makes no +representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any +country outside the United States. + +1.E. Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg: + +1.E.1.

You may copy it, give it away or re-use it + under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included with this + eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org. If you are not located in the + United States, you'll have to check the laws of the country where you + are located before using this ebook. + +1.E.2. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is +derived from texts not protected by U.S. copyright law (does not +contain a notice indicating that it is posted with permission of the +copyright holder), the work can be copied and distributed to anyone in +the United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are +redistributing or providing access to a work with the phrase "Project +Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the work, you must comply +either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 or +obtain permission for the use of the work and the Project Gutenberg-tm +trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or 1.E.9. + +1.E.3. If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted +with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution +must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any +additional terms imposed by the copyright holder.

However, if you provide access +to or distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format +other than "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official +version posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site +(www.gutenberg.org), you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense +to the user, provide a copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means +of obtaining a copy upon request, of the work in its original "Plain +Vanilla ASCII" or other form. Any alternate format must include the +full Project Gutenberg-tm License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1. + +1.E.7. Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying, +performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works +unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9. + +1.E.8. You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing +access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works +provided that + +* You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from + the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method + you already use to calculate your applicable taxes. The fee is owed + to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he has + agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project + Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid + within 60 days following each date on which you prepare (or are + legally required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty + payments should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project + Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in + Section 4, "Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg + Literary Archive Foundation." + +* You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies + you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he + does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm + License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all + copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and discontinue + all use of and all access to other copies of Project Gutenberg-tm + works. + +* You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of + any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the + electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days of + receipt of the work. + +* You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free + distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works. + +1.E.9.

Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable +effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread +works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project +Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm +electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may +contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate +or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other +intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or +other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or +cannot be read by your equipment. + +1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right +of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project +Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all +liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal +fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT +LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE +PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE +TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE +LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR +INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH +DAMAGE. + +1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium +with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you +with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in +lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person +or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second +opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If +the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing +without further opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth +in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO +OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT +LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. + +1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied +warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of +damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement +violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the +agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or +limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or +unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the +remaining provisions. + +1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the +trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone +providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in +accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the +production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm +electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, +including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of +the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this +or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or +additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any +Defect you cause. + +Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of +computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It +exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations +from people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future +generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see +Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at +www.gutenberg.org Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by +U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is in Fairbanks, Alaska, with the +mailing address: PO Box 750175, Fairbanks, AK 99775, but its +volunteers and employees are scattered throughout numerous +locations. Its business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt +Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to +date contact information can be found at the Foundation's web site and +official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact + +For additional contact information: + + Dr. Gregory B. Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND +DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular +state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To +donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project +Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be +freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and +distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of +volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in +the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not +necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper +edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search +facility: www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. +\end{verbatim} + +% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % +% % +% End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Spherical Trigonometry, by I.
