Map of the world : an introduction to mathematical geodesy / Martin Vermeer, Antti, Rasila.
The development of mathematical theory, together with its implementation and use, needed to process, analyze, integrate and validate geodetic data, such as measurements for landsurveying, is referred to as the discipline of Mathematical Geodesy. It is about the calculus of observation, the validatio...
