The beauty of the Bancroft methode is that it gives analytical results.
No iteration, direct results, fast number crushing.
The maths looks difficult, for non mathematicians, but once done and programmed the calculation is easy for now days calculators.
All is done in a chip like the SIRF star III.

It is fun to play with a GPS receiver that plugs on a Notebook USB port.
Cost: About $30.

The nth dimension.
i.e. nD (where n = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.)
Earlier, we looked at the 4D tesseract (again!).
Now I've found a nice animation that shows the progression from a point (n=0), to a line (n=1), to a square (n=2), to a cube (n=3), to a tesseract (n=4).
Let's see if the animation works here:

Thing is point is occurring in many places to make a line . A line is occurring on many places to make a square . A cube is occurring at many places to make tesseract. but unlike first 3 dimensions the 4 goes into the cube. May I ask why.

As part of "spacetime", where space is usually 3 spatial dimensions, but can have as many dimensions as needed, not limited to 3.
A dimension is something we can move or travel through.
From the viewpoint of special relativity, you move through a combination of space and time.
When you stand still, then all your traveling is through time.

Update on the Contreras Fire which had blazed its way to the Kitt Peak National Observatory by June 17.
The wildfire destroyed a dormitory and other non-scientific buildings, but it did not reach any of the telescopes at Kitt Peak.
However, it has still to be ascertained how much damage the telescopes may have suffered due to smoke, airborne ash, and heat.

The dimension of death?
Look how large the dimensions of the Death Star are compared to the British Isles:

Only TNT knows the distance from one side of Chopper's back to the other.
oh, and you of course.
Nooooo! Don's drop it there, it'll add another border between England and the EU... (Now, a direct border from Scotland to the EU would be handy....)
