← HistoryWhich consequence occurred from improved algebraic methods used during astrolabe fabrication?
A)Quicker surveying celestial sphere positions
B)Easier brass instrument mass duplication✓
C)Minimized parallax lunar position errors
D)Shorter observation window recording times
💡 Explanation
Easier instrument duplication arose because advancements refined calculating latitude-dependent markings using algebraic geometry, specifically stereographic projection. This facilitated simplified, faster creation by repetitive scaling; therefore quicker astrolabe manufacturing, rather than impacting observational errors or speeds.
