Description
Plane and Geodetic Surveying provides a comprehensive blend of theory and practice for students of surveying. It covers conventional techniques and satellite-based methods, offering detailed guidance on the use of key instruments such as total stations, levels, and navigational satellite receivers. The book explains the concepts and formulae needed to convert instrument readings into reliable results, while also providing rigorous explanations of the theoretical background to surveying. This edition has been revised and updated to reflect recent developments in satellite navigation, laser scanners, and total stations, offering a more comprehensive understanding of geodetic geometry and mapping systems. A free downloadable least square adjustment program is included, making this book an invaluable resource for both students and practitioners seeking a 'stand-alone' text for further reading.
