Seventeenth Century Practical Mathematics: Navigation by Greenvill Collins: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Seventeenth Century Practical Mathematics: Navigation by Greenvill Collins" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This exciting Greenvill Collins biography is about seventeenth century navigation, focusing for the first time on mathematics practised at sea. This monograph argues the Restoration kings, Charles II and James II, promotion of cartography for both strategy and trade. It is aimed at the academic, cartographic and larger market of marine enthusiasts. Through shipwreck and Arctic marooning, and Dutch and Spanish charts, Collins evolved a Prime Meridian running through Charless capital. After John Ogilbys successful Britannia, Charles set Collins surveying his kingdoms coasts, and James set John Adair surveying in Scotland. They triangulated at sea. Subsequently, Collins persuaded James to sustain his dead brothers ambition. This, the British coasts first survey took six years. After Jamess flight, and William IIIs invasion, Collins lead the royal yacht squadron for six years more, garnering funds to publish Great Britains Coasting Pilot. The Admiralty and civic institutions subsidised what became his own pilot. Collins aided Royal Society members in their investigations, and his new guide remained vital to navigators through the century following. Charless cartographic promotion bloomed the most spectacularly in the atlases of Ogilby, Collins and John Flamsteed for roads, harbours, and stars--

Seventeenth Century Practical Mathematics
This exciting Greenvill Collins biography is about seventeenth-century navigation, focusing for the first time on mathematics practised at sea. This monograph argues the Restoration kings, Charles II and James II, promotion of cartography for both strategy and trade. It is aimed at the academic, cartographic and larger market of marine enthusiasts. Through shipwreck and Arctic marooning, and Dutch and Spanish charts, Collins evolved a prime meridian running through Charless capital. After John Ogilbys successful Britannia , Charles set Collins surveying his kingdoms coasts, and James set John Adair surveying in Scotland. They triangulated at sea. Subsequently, Collins persuaded James to sustain his dead brothers ambition. This, the British coasts first survey, took six years. After Jamess flight, and William IIIs invasion, Collins led the royal yacht squadron for six years more, garnering funds to publish Great Britains Coasting Pilot . The Admiralty and civic institutions subsidised what became his own pilot. Collins aided Royal Society members in their investigations, and his new guide remained vital to navigators through the following century. Charless cartographic promotion bloomed most spectacularly in the atlases of Ogilby, Collins and John Flamsteed for roads, harbours and stars.
With a PhD in engineering, the master mariner, Paul Hughes , provides marine consultancy to shipping, oil majors and port authorities. His publications in hydrography range from charts and tidal prediction through sailing directions.

For reading and suggestion, thank you to Dennis Morgan, Robert Morritt, R.W. Sawyers, Martin H. Wilcox and P.L. Woodworth. Effie Moneypenneys Stuart Yacht Research Group brought in conversation. Angelo Pesce led a tour of Vesuviuss environs. Several institutions graciously granted access to their pilot collations, as Daniel Crouch supplied an electronic copy. W. Graham Arader III encouraged photography of his Speedwell manuscript.
Dates within those records concerning Greenvill Collins (16431694) are a constant problem. The temporal authorities reckoned by different calendars, ships officers recorded dates differently according to their social class, and simply, people made mistakes.
He wrote of bringing King William (16501702) to the Dutch coast on Tuesday, 20 January 1690, reckoning by the old Julian calendar. The Netherlands States General dated his licence. They, together with Williams French retinue, reckoning by the newer Gregorian calendar, thought of that landing day as Friday 30 January 1691. The Annunciation, 25 March, the New Years Day presently out of fashion, is another part of the difference. Therefore this text relates most dates as though the hydrographer brought the king to that coast on 20 January 1691.
