Mathematics For Mariners (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258412760)

Mathematics For Mariners is a comprehensive guidebook that aims to equip seafarers with the necessary mathematical skills and knowledge to navigate the open seas. Written by Chester Edward Dimick, a seasoned sailor and educator, this book covers a wide range of topics, including algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus, all of which are essential for understanding and applying navigation principles. The book is divided into four main sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of maritime mathematics. The first section covers basic arithmetic and algebra, while the second section delves into geometry and trigonometry. The third section focuses on the use of logarithms and exponential functions in navigation, and the fourth and final section provides an introduction to calculus. Throughout the book, Dimick uses clear explanations, practical examples, and real-world scenarios to help readers understand the concepts and apply them to their own navigation challenges. Mathematics For Mariners is an indispensable resource for anyone who wants to master the mathematical skills needed to navigate the high seas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
