Our libraries have a book sale at least once a year, and for a dollar I picked up a Spherical Trigonometry text book by Raymond W. Brink, Ph. D. Professor of Mathematics in the University of Minnesota. Copyright 1942 Appleton-Century Company, Inc. It's main topics in the Contents are: I. The Geometry of a Sphere II. The Right Spherical Triangle III. The Oblique Spherical Triangle IV. The Celestial Sphere. It has only 62 pages.
