← HistoryWhich constraint increased regarding spherical trigonometry with geometric solutions on inaccurate medieval astrolabes?
A)Amplification of systematic instrument errors✓
B)Non-convergent iterative equation solutions
C)Complex exponential arithmetic operations overhead
D)Requirement increased for prime number factorization
💡 Explanation
Position interpolation on unreliable astrolabes amplified systematic errors due to error PROPAGATION, because small initial errors introduced algebra affected triangle calculations and therefore degraded final accuracy, rather than converging correctly with successive iterative fixes.
