She was the author of the Bright Star Catalogue, a compendium of information on the 9,110 brightest stars in the sky; she also co-authored The General Catalogue of Trigonometric Stellar Parallaxes, containing precise distance measurements to 8,112 stars, information critical to understanding the kinematics of the Milky Way galaxy and the evolution of the solar neighborhood.
Kenneth Henderson Hunt was Foundation Professor of Engineering at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia and an expert in kinematics.
Ferdinand Freudenstein is often called the father of modern kinematics for his contributions to the kinematic synthesis of linkages beginning in the 1950s.
Following Glen Van Brummelen (Reference 1 below, p. 129, stereographic projection), spherical trigonometry, though certainly no longer relevant to the older scientific needs of navigation, astronomy, geography, etc., other than as historical mathematics, has nevertheless seen a "rebirth" today due to simulation, game programming, Autodesk Maya, kinematics, physics engines, and many other new fields as diverse as optics, photography, art and medicine.
At the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering he held lectures in the following subjects: Statics, Kinematics, Dynamics, Vibration theory and Design, and at postgraduate degree courses he gave lectures in Analytical mechanics and Aerodynamic aircraft design.
