In the greatly awakened interest in the common-school subjects during recent years, geography has received a large share. The establishment of chairs of geography in some of our greatest universities, the giving of college courses in physiography, meteorology, and commerce, and the general extension of geography courses in normal schools, academies, and high schools, may be cited as evidence of this growing appreciation of the importance of the subject. While physiographic processes and resulting land forms occupy a large place in geographical control, the earth in its simple mathematical aspects should be better understood than it generally is, and mathematical geography deserves a larger p...
Dive into the fascinating realm where mathematics intersects with the Earth's geography with "Mathematical Geography" by Willis E. Johnson. Prepare to embark on a journey of discovery through the intricate web of mathematical principles that govern our planet's physical features and spatial relationships. Join Johnson as he unveils the hidden beauty and complexity of the Earth's geography, using mathematical tools to unlock its secrets. Through meticulous research and clear explanations, Johnson guides readers through a wide range of topics, from cartography and navigation to the study of landforms and climate patterns. Themes of precision, abstraction, and interconnectedness permeate "Mathe...

This volume presents the beautiful memoirs of Euler, Lagrange and Lambert on geography, translated into English and put into perspective through explanatory and historical essays as well as commentaries and mathematical notes. These works had a major impact on the development of the differential geometry of surfaces and they deserve to be studied, not only as historical documents, but most of all as a rich source of ideas.
