In Chap. 2, we were introduced to the concept of reference frames, and the primary terrestrial reference frame used for navigation, namely latitude and longitude. The shape of the Earth was also discussed. This chapter takes the discussion further, by introducing the concept of geodesy, and how the science of geodesy materially affects the way that mariners navigate at sea.
