Résumé

For freshman and sophomore courses in surveying. This is a highly readable best-selling text that presents basic concepts and practical material in each of the areas fundamental to modern surveying (geomatics) practice. Its depth and breadth are ideal for self-study. The Eleventh Edition includes more than 400 figures and illustrations to help clarify discussions, and numerous worked example problems to illustrate computational procedures.

Features

The theory of errors in surveying work is strongly emphasized. At the end of each chapter, common errors and mistakes related to the topic covered are listed to remind students to exercise caution in their work. Practical suggestions from the authors' years of experience are interjected throughout the text.
Many of the 1000 after-chapter problems have been rewritten, so that instructors can create new assignments for their students.
Updated versions of Stats, Wolfpack, and Matrix are included on the accompanying CD. - These programs contain options for statistical computations, traverse computations for polygon, link, and radial traverses; area calculations; astronomical azimuth reduction; two-dimensional coordinate transformations; horizontal and vertical curve computations; and least squares adjustments. - Mathcad® worksheets and Excel® spreadsheets are included.
