Über die Berechnung der geographischen Längen und Breiten aus geodätischen Vermessungen

The solution of the geodesic problem for an oblate ellipsoid is developed in terms of series. Tables are provided to simplify the computation. [This is a transcription of F. W. Bessel, Astronomische Nachrichten 4(86), 241-254 (1825). The text follows the original; however the mathematical notation has been updated to conform to current conventions. Several errors have been corrected and the tables have been recomputed.]

The calculation of longitude and latitude from geodesic measurements

The solution of the geodesic problem for an oblate ellipsoid is developed in terms of series. Tables are provided to simplify the computation. [This is an English translation of F. W. Bessel, Astronomische Nachrichten 4(86), 241-254 (1825). The mathematical notation has been updated to conform to current conventions and, in a few places, the equations have been rearranged for clarity. Several errors have been corrected, a figure has been included, and the tables have been recomputed.]
