Can someone prove rigorous the spherical trigonometric identities/laws without using Linear algebra? יהודה שמחה ולדמן ( talk) 12:37, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
- Historically linear algebra is much later than spherical trigonometry, so the answer is yes.

- OK, I'd like to see formal proofs for the
Cosine rules and sine rules.

- Do you mean along the lines of
Spherical law of cosines#Proof without vectors? Probably the 1886 Todhunter book has this. --

- I think we need a sketch review for this on that page. יהודה שמחה ולדמן ( talk) 22:35, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
