Divine Proportions does not assume much in the way of mathematical background in its readers, but its many long formulas, frequent consideration of finite fields, and (after part I) emphasis on mathematical rigour are likely to be obstacles to a popular mathematics audience. Instead, it is mainly written for mathematics teachers and researchers.
Having attending several of Norman Wildeberger's talks, the rationale behind rational trigonometry is that the concept of an angle belongs to a circle (ie, Euler's formula), and that the concept of spread is far more natural for a triangle (c.f. Thales' theorem). Angles and distance also break down in fields other than the real numbers, whereas ...
In trigonometry, the Snellius–Pothenot problem is a problem first described in the context of planar surveying.Given three known points A, B, C, an observer at an unknown point P observes that the line segment AC subtends an angle α and the segment CB subtends an angle β; the problem is to determine the position of the point P.

3. Get Enough Sleep. As mentioned, not getting enough sleep can make weight loss harder. To help, aim for at least seven hours a night. To improve your sleep and hit that number, try:. Waking up ...
I just created this article, because Wildberger clearly needed an article, as he has made an important contribution to mathematics with his new subject known as "rational trigonometry."Dratman 01:56, 17 September 2011 (UTC) I think there have been changes since the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Norman J. Wildberger discussion. Wildberger is ...
