The LORAN LOng RAnge Navigation system calculates the position of a boat at sea using signals from fixed transmitters. From the time differences of the incoming signals, the boat obtains differences of distances to the transmitters. This leads to two equations each representing hyperbolas defined by the differences of distance of two points foci An example of such equations from are
Solving two quadratic equations with two unknowns, would require solving a degree polynomial equation. We could do this by hand, but for a navigational system to work well, it must do the calculations automatically and numerically. We note that the Global Positioning System GPS works on similar principles and must do similar computations.
