Mathematical Geography (Classic Reprint) by Willis E. Johnson Pdf

Excerpt from Mathematical Geography IN the greatly awakened interest in the common-school subjects during recent years, geography has received a large share. The establishment of chairs of geography in some of our greatest universities, the giving of college courses in physiography, meteorology, and commerce, and the general extension of geography courses in normal schools, academies, and high schools, may be cited as evidence of this growing appreciation of the importance of the subject. While physiographic processes and resulting land forms occupy a large place in geographical control, the earth in its simple mathematical aspects should be better under stood _than it generally is, and mathematical geography deserves a larger place in the literature of the subject than the few pages generally given to it in our physical geog raphies and elementary astronomies. It is generally conceded that the mathematical portion of geography is the most difficult, the most poorly taught and least understood, and that students require the most help in understanding it. The subject-matter of mathematical geography is scattered about in many works, and no one book treats the subject with any degree of thoroughness, or even makes a pretense at doing so. It is with the view of meeting the need for such a volume that this work has been undertaken. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Mathematical Geography by Edward P. Jackson Pdf

Excerpt from Mathematical Geography: With a Supplement Containing an Outline of Astronomy, and a Manual for the Stellar Tellurian, Designed for Common Schools The contents may be summed up briefly as follows The Earth's Form; (2) Its Size; (3) Its Division by Circles; (4) Its Motions and their Results; (5) Its Relations to other Heavenly Bodies, particularly the Sun and Moon. It will be seen that more ground is covered in this department than in ordinary geographies. In fact, all that part of astronomical science into which the earth enters as a prominent element, is assumed to belong legitimately to the subject; although great care has been taken not to introduce into the body of the book any topic which may not, by simple language and familiar illustration, be easily understood by those for whom the book is designed.

Lessons in Geography, Including Mathematical, Physical, and Political Geography (Classic Reprint) by J. T. Scovell Pdf

Excerpt from Lessons in Geography, Including Mathematical, Physical, and Political Geography The various things around us, of which we gain a knowledge by our senses, are objects, or forms of matter. These objects all have length, breadth, and thickness, i.e. they extend in three directions. Since objects have extension, they must have something in which to extend. This something we call space. Space. - Space is the possibility of extension; a necessary condition to the existence of matter. Solid. - A solid is a limited portion of space having extension in three directions. Material Solid. - A material solid is a limited portion of space filled with matter. Surface. - A surface is limited extension in two directions. The boundaries or limits of a solid are surfaces. Line. - A line is extension in one direction. The boundaries or limits of a surface arc lines. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Groundwork of Modern Geography an Introduction to the Science of Geography (Classic Reprint) by Albert Wilmore Pdf

Excerpt from The Groundwork of Modern Geography an Introduction to the Science of Geography The writer of a book on Geography can scarcely hope to be really original but every writer or teacher may emphasise those parts of the science which appeal most strongly to him, or which seem to him to be most important. In this book the author has exercised this privilege freely, and has followed what appears to him to be a natural sequence. It is perfectly obvious, however, that other writers may prefer a different order, and may choose to emphasise other aspects of this wide science. Limits of space have necessitated the sacrifice of Mathematical Geography and Cartography, and the important branch Oceanography is only incidentally mentioned. The author has had in View a book which may provide, within moderate compass, an introduction to the so-called New Geography. It is hoped that not only the student but also the intelligent general reader may find the book of some interest, and that it may serve as a preparation for, and a stimulus to, the reading of one or more of the excellent monographs or Regional Geographies now available in English. The admirable series The Regions of the World, edited by Mr. Mackinder, and the stimulating Europe, by Prof. Lyde, may be mentioned as examples of books to which the present groundwork may possibly serve as an introduction.

Smithsonian Geographical Tables (Classic Reprint) by R. S. Woodward Pdf

Excerpt from Smithsonian Geographical Tables In connection with the system of meteorological observations established by the Smithsonian Institution about 1850, a series of meteorological tables was compiled by Dr. Arnold Guyot, at the request of Secretary Henry, and was published in 1852 as a volume of the Miscellaneous Collections. A second edition was published in 1857, and a third edition, with further amendments, in 1859. Though primarily designed for meteorological observers reporting to the Smithsonian Institution, the tables were so widely used by meteorologists and physicists that, after twenty-five years of valuable service, the work was again revised, and a fourth edition was published in 1884. In a few years the demand for the tables exhausted the edition, and it appeared to me desirable to recast the work entirely, rather than to undertake its revision again. After careful consideration I decided to publish the new work in three parts: Meteorological Tables, Geographical Tables, and Physical Tables, each representative of the latest knowledge in its field, and independent of the others; but the three forming a homogeneous series. Although thus historically related to Doctor Guyot's Tables, the present work is so entirely changed with respect to material, arrangement, and presentation, that it is not a fifth edition of the older tables, but essentially a new publication. The first volume of the new series of Smithsonian Tables (the Meteorological Tables) appeared in 1893. The present volume, forming the second of the series, the Geographical Tables, has been prepared by Professor R. S. Woodward, formerly of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, but now of Columbia College, New York, who has brought to the work a very wide experience both in field work and in the reduction of extensive geodetic observations.
