SURV202 Surveying Mathematics
This course provides an introduction to the mathematical methods used in spatial positioning and analysis. Includes concepts of measurement, least squares analysis using both observation, and condition equations, transformations, spherical trigonometry and map projections.
Cource Objectives
- To learn how to apply basic mathematical and statistical procedures to spatial measurement and analysis problems.
- To understand measurement errors, their sources and the way in which they propagate in typical measurement problems.
- To be able to apply least squares analysis techniques to spatial measurement problems.
- To understand the foundation of map projection theory and be able to apply this theory.
- To be able to use spherical trigonometry to solve practical problems.
- To take mathematics from the realm of the theoretical to the realm of the practical and useful.
