Thank you.
You are right., i can't imagine anyone using a caliper , even micrometer, to get more than two decimal. Yes, one may get it and what? To boast about it to a first blonde in a Singles? What about that little drum ona sextant? There is practicality in everything, at least I see it this way, in navig that preclude us of scientific exorcises Just Because. I think nobody expressed it better than great CAptain Lecky in his Wrinkles in Practical NAvigation. When he conducted some experiments ona shore-there was a very good practical reason why did he do it.
The book you found in pdf format is much better than the one I have written about. I mean by content. The book I have in my possession is oriented on students who like math like a bride likes a pimples on her face. Not they were hating it. No They just did not know it. I tried to follow some directions and i have so much sympathy for those miserables. It is detailed, kind of intuitive, but for me it was difficult. Again, just a historical one.
Am a big fan of Sir Winston. HAve quite a lot of books written by him and a little bit about him. He was The Personality in the best meaning of this word. His career took ups and downs many times. And his childhood was kind of specific. But nobody can deprive him ofm his personal courage and absolutely fantastic determination. just one fact . He flew to the US to the meeting with FDR duing the war in a military cargo plane and his personal doctor was next to him because of a real possibility of cardiac arest. In Casablanka he almost died from a bout of pnemonia and still was able to conduct important meeting. Exceptional man. Yes, made mistakes. And who didn't . Anyway, believe it or not, even in Soviet Russia when asked whom they considered the greatest person of 20 century Russians answered Churchill, not Uncle Joe. Tells a lot.
