DESCRIPTION:
A vital science course text Introduction to Geometrical and Physical Geodesy: Foundations of Geomatics is an introductory text to geodesy: the science of measuring and representing the shape and size of the Earth, which is directly applicable to solving problems in cartography, GIS, enginee. "I found this to be one of the better introductory text to geodesy that I have purchased" according to Amazon Customer. I found this to be one of the better introductory text to geodesy that I have purchased. It more than satisfied many of many previous questions about this sometimes complex subject. Thank you Mr. Meyer.. "Good book as introduction." according to Amazon Customer. I bought this book for my introductory course in geodesy (which understand also topography). It's a good book for asessing and completing information found elsewhere. Though one keeping asking about "Is this all ?".
To simplify presentation, mathematics in this book are discussed without origin or proof, and all formulas have detailed examples illustrating their use. Introduction to Geometrical and Physical Geodesy: Foundations of Geomatics explores geodesy, the discipline dealing with the measurement and representation of the earth. Intended for the classroom or professional reference, this book simplifies the geodesic formulas related to surveying, making it a practical approach to geodesy and GIS.. Establishing GIS as a coordinate-based system, and building on this concept, the book culminates in the reader's applied knowledge of geodesy
