By Maarten Hooijberg
Written for geodesists utilizing desktops of modest skill, the booklet reports the most recent improvement in geodetic computation strategies. the purpose is to take inventory of accessible facts (datums, ellipsoids, devices etc.), to target purposes and to light up spatial advancements. subject matters conceal datums and reference platforms, geodetic arc distances, varied projections and coordinate platforms. the fabric has been especially selected and covers the sensible point of geodesy, together with the demonstration of worldwide examples. Stressing the how-to-do technique, the publication is of curiosity to scholars in geodesy, GIS experts, hydrographers and land surveyors.
