Hi All,
    I have been following the haversine discussion with great interest.
One post said that everything (formulas I guess) fit on a 3X5 card (?)
What about the haversign table?
I am thinking of making my own tables; I wonder to what resolution
would you expect to go down to?
Thanks,
       ~Greg

Hanno,

The formula varient that you show is actually what I used to format the index card reduction. It works well to save space. For same name N=hav(L-D),  P=hav(L+D). For contrary name N=hav (L+D), P=hav (L-D). For calculator reductions  Hc= Arc Sin [1-2(x),   x=N+(1-Q)*havLHA.

I prefer to us different letters where n=(L+/-d),m=(L+/-d), P=(1- (n+m))*havLHA, ZD=Arc hav(n+P). This way when Bowditch is consulted there is better agreement.

Greg,

 

there is a form of the hav-Doniol some people might prefer.

Mathematically, there is no difference to the original formulation.

Here it is:

 

 

               define:   N  =  hav( L - D );

               define:   P  =   hav( L +D );

               define:   Q  =  N + P;

       

               hav(s2s)  =  N + ( 1 - Q )* hav(LHA);
