Abstract
The recorded study of spheres dates back to the first century in the book Sphaerica of Menelaus. Spherical trigonometry was thoroughly developed in modern form by Euler in his 1782 paper [75]. Spherical geometry in n-dimensions was first studied by Schläfli in his 1852 treatise, which was published posthumously in [202]. The most important transformation in spherical geometry, the Möbius transformation, was considered by Möbius in his 1855 paper [171].
