Short Course in Spherical Trigonometry offers a concise and systematic introduction to the principles of spherical trigonometry and its practical applications. Written by noted mathematician Pauline Sperry, this textbook was designed to provide students with a clear understanding of the relations between the sides and angles of spherical triangles. The work meticulously covers essential theorems, formulas, and the derivation of key trigonometric identities specific to the sphere.

Beyond theoretical proofs, the text emphasizes problem-solving techniques essential for fields such as astronomy, geodesy, and navigation. Through structured lessons and illustrative examples, Sperry guides the reader from fundamental concepts to more complex calculations, including the solution of right and oblique spherical triangles. This clarity of exposition makes the book an enduring resource for those seeking a foundational grasp of geometry in three-dimensional space.
