Suggestion for chapter 3.4.5 to better understanding on the formula #29

Closed RicardoOrtizG closed 3 years ago

RicardoOrtizG commented 3 years ago

I have a suggestion about chapter 3.4.5. I think is necessary to specify the values in the formula like the Wieczorek 2004 article. "where x=dcos(θ), y=dsin(θ), x’=dcos(θ’), and y’=dsin(θ’). Just for a quick understanding of the formula and his application in this example. It could be helpful also for a better understanding of the values d, (θ), and the value of x and x' mentioned in the text.

In §3.4.5

After the formula

replace line "and the uncertainty in the above example would be 3.90 km"

with "where x=dcos(θ), y=dsin(θ), x’=dcos(θ’), and y’=dsin(θ’). The uncertainty in the above example would be 3.90 km."
