Publisher's Synopsis
Published for the first time in paperback, the geometrical and mathematical basis for surveying and cartography form the main part of this account of the geometry and formulas of spherical and spheroidal surfaces. The section on spherical trigonometry is pertinent to astronomical position determination, while spheroidal geometry refers to the precise calculation of position and large-scale map systems. The book also outlines the theory of map projections and problems of their use in large-scale surveying work.
