In the above, it will be noticed that the azimuth is always noted
as so much east or west of north or south. If this convention be
adopted, one may consider the first term of _d_φ as always +,
and the second term will be + if the azimuth contains the word
south,—if it is from the north, while the total _d_φ is to be added
or subtracted according as one is going north or south. A somewhat
similar convention is adopted in neglecting the sign of _d_λ till
the actual addition or subtraction is made. It was found in the
field that this method prevented any mistake of sign, while being
much simpler to work than one involving angles greater than 90°.
