This book was released on 2007 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of integrated navigation systems covered in this book is designed for those directly involved with the design, integration, and test and evaluation of navigation systems. It is assumed that the reader has a background in mathematics, including calculus. Integrated navigation systems are the combination of an onboard navigation solution (position, velocity, and attitude) and independent navigation data (aids to navigation) to update or correct navigation solutions. In this book, this combination is accomplished with Kalman filter algorithms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mathematics of Navigation To the beginner, navigation seems a maze of formulas, a mass of tables and a long list of funny names. In fact, the extremely confused and complicated way of presenting the subject reminds the author of the examinations a licensed electrician has to pass, which are apparently gotten up to reduce the number of licensed electricians. Many who navigate ships are poor mathematicians, and though they may be fine men, good sailors and eficient oficers they are so in spite of their poor mathematics, not because of it. Navigation is a mathematical subject and should be so taught. N 0 one can understand navigation unless he knows some mathematics - arithmetic, geometry, algebra, analytical geometry and plane trigonometry. The author does not consider spherical geometry and trigonometry necessary, and thinks they should be avoided, as will be seen, but it is absolutely necessary that the general astro nomical situation be comprehended. Any one who knows astronomy can skip the chapter headed Right Ascension, as it was written only to cover this point.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whereas numerous tomes of comprehensive studies of navigation and related subjects are readily available for the professional navigator, there is dearth of publications suitable for the amateur navigator in a "how-to" form. Furthermore, the appearance of relatively inexpensive electronic devices, such as the GPS, has lured would-be navigators away from the traditional methods of navigation, in spite of the warnings offered by the companies producing these devices. Thus they overlook the "sine qua non" of good navigation, the determination of the current velocity, that is the set and drift. Once determined this component of the navigational triangle makes precise navigation a snap, whereas without it there is only uncertainty. Most students are turned off by the need to acquire a practical application of basic formulae employing basic trigonometry and later spherical trigonometry, methods which have evolved over the centuries from the beginning of the Age of Exploration in the early 1400's to modern days. In this text we develop the knowledge and application of these mathematical processes in such a way as to reassure the student that these techniques are not beyond his capabilities.

This book was released on 2014-02-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applying Mathematics to Astro Navigation. This addition to the 'Astro Navigation Demystified' series focuses on the mathematical principles upon which astro / celestial navigation is based and it will appeal to anyone with an interest in these subjects whether they be navigators or mathematicians. A must for navigation course tutors and mathematics teachers.Few navigation books describe techniques that involve first principles; instead they mostly describe methods which rely upon the use of tables of computed data and rote-learned procedures. There is obviously very little educational value in such techniques; far better that students of the subject should be helped to discover and apply the underlying principles for themselves. Accordingly, the approach adopted in this book involves putting the student in the place of a navigator who has no automated navigation equipment, nautical almanac, chronometer or 'Sat. Nav.' and who must therefore discover a means of navigating without them. To this end, readers are guided through a method of calculating a position on the earth's surface by the application of spherical trigonometry without reliance upon equipment other than an angle measuring device such as a simple clinometer.Section two of the book, which is very popular with teachers and college lecturers, contains activities that are designed to provide opportunities to consolidate the knowledge acquired and provide ideal starting points for 'open-ended' projects. They are suitable for people with a wide range of interests from seafarers and sailing enthusiasts to students of mathematics and nautical studies. Note. The terms celestial navigation and astro navigation are generally regarded as synonymous.Other books in the Astro Navigation Demystified Series: Astro Navigation Demystified. The ultimate book of the series; it is a complete course in astro / celestial navigation. This unique self-teach course comprehensively covers all relevant elements of the examination syllabuses of the main sailing associations. Part one ranges from simple explanations of the basic principles through to detailed expositions of the important aspects of the subject. Part two provides a comprehensive coverage of the use of rapid sight reduction techniques for position fixing. Celestial Navigation. The Ultimate CourseThe traditional method of celestial navigation involving the use of spherical trigonometry to calculate a vessel's position is comprehensively taught in this book. At first sight, the term 'spherical trigonometry' might seem quite daunting but with the knowledge of just two formulas and with a little practice of the methods explained in this book, it will be found to be quick and easy to apply as well as very accurate. With this method, we make accurate calculations using data taken directly from a vessel's DR position and so avoid the inaccuracies of sight reduction methods that involve interpolation from tables using data based on an 'assumed position'. Astronomy For Astro Navigation. This book focuses on those aspects of astronomy that are essential for a complete understanding of astro navigation - a must for sailors, navigators, nautical colleges and navigation tutors. Teachers and students of many other subjects including geography and mathematics will also find this book interesting, entertaining and very informative. The only book of its kind - no other book focuses on only those aspects of astronomy that are relevant to astro navigation. An ideal introduction to both astronomy and astro navigation containing 178 letter size pages packed with illustrations, detailed diagrams and clear explanations."Know the stars and you will always have a compass" (The Revenant) The Astro Navigation Demystified website provides a free resource for all those interested in the subject of astro navigation (or celestial navigation as it is also known): www.astronavigationdemystified.com

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Spherical trigonometry was at the heart of astronomy and ocean-going navigation for two millennia. The discipline was a mainstay of mathematics education for centuries, and it was a standard subject in high schools until the 1950s. Today, however, it is rarely taught. Heavenly Mathematics traces the rich history of this forgotten art, revealing how the cultures of classical Greece, medieval Islam, and the modern West used spherical trigonometry to chart the heavens and the Earth."--Jacket.

This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mathematics of the Heavens and the Earth is the first major history in English of the origins and early development of trigonometry. Glen Van Brummelen identifies the earliest known trigonometric precursors in ancient Egypt, Babylon, and Greece, and he examines the revolutionary discoveries of Hipparchus, the Greek astronomer believed to have been the first to make systematic use of trigonometry in the second century BC while studying the motions of the stars. The book traces trigonometry's development into a full-fledged mathematical discipline in India and Islam; explores its applications to such areas as geography and seafaring navigation in the European Middle Ages and Renaissance; and shows how trigonometry retained its ancient roots at the same time that it became an important part of the foundation of modern mathematics. The Mathematics of the Heavens and the Earth looks at the controversies as well, including disputes over whether Hipparchus was indeed the father of trigonometry, whether Indian trigonometry is original or derived from the Greeks, and the extent to which Western science is indebted to Islamic trigonometry and astronomy. The book also features extended excerpts of translations of original texts, and detailed yet accessible explanations of the mathematics in them. No other book on trigonometry offers the historical breadth, analytical depth, and coverage of non-Western mathematics that readers will find in The Mathematics of the Heavens and the Earth.
