Description

The equations of spherical trigonometry are derived via three dimensional rotation matrices. These include the spherical law of sines, the spherical law of cosines and the second spherical law of cosines. Also addressed are derivations of "Ogura's Method" and "Ageton's Method", which methods are used to create short-method tables for celestial navigation.
