Provenance

Where it came from

Published in 2002 as part of the scholarly series focused on the historical intersection of navigation and science, this volume explores the profound challenges mathematicians and astronomers faced in determining longitudinal coordinates at sea. The work contextualizes the 'longitude problem' not merely as a technical hurdle for mariners, but as a catalyst that spurred critical developments in chronometry, celestial mechanics, and planetary mapping throughout the eighteenth century.

Vincent Jullien, a specialist in the history of science and mathematics, curated this collection to provide a rigorous overview of how theoretical geometry and observational astronomy were synthesized to address the needs of maritime exploration. The text is highly regarded within academic circles for its detailed synthesis of the era's mathematical treatises, offering readers a precise look at the collaborative and competitive nature of scientific progress during the Age of Discovery.
