Description
This volume is designed to assist anyone with the mathematics involved in map making. It starts from an elementary standpoint and progresses to give the student a sufficient level of understanding to cope with most topics encountered by the map maker, including those of elementary surveying. The material is in two carefully cross-referenced parts. Mathematical topics and concepts are presented in the first part, enabling the relevance of each topic to be made clear, while the second part contains a glossary and formulae summaries with several appendices.

'I find it to be a great resource. It is easy to read and the examples are thorough and meaningful'. Instructor, School of Ocean Technology at the Marine Institute in Newfoundland -------------------- '...This book continues to be an excellent text for students of geomatics and associated subjects. ...an important aid to revision and enhanced understanding'. The Photogrammetric Record -------------------- '...This is a new edition and further endorses the work as the first port of call for anyone seeking a comprehensive treatment of the mathematics involved in map making and elementary surveying. ...This is an ideal course book for students of geomatics including surveying, cartography and photogrammetry, ...and for those in industry or academia who require a reference work on the topic'. Geomatics World -------------------- '... this is an excellent book and it will be an extremely valuable text for many students... ... a valuable source of reference' Photogrammetric Record...an excellent book and it will be an extremely valuable text for many students...a valuable source of reference. The Photogrammetric Record ...is obviously written by a lecturer who understands the issues of teaching mathematics...represents an important milestone by providing fundamental mathematics material...The Australian Surveyor.
