Determination of the Coefficients of the Gaussian General Theory of the Earth's Magnetism for the Year 1885 and About the Relationship of the Three Earth-Magnetic Elements

摘要

An attempt is made to judge the value of the Gaussian series for the Earth's magnetism. The computation employed to do this uses the method of the least and greatest coefficients. The number of unknown which had to be calculated from the individual groups was at most only four. All symbols of Gauss were retained.
