Plane and Geodetic Surveying

This book blends theory and practice, conventional techniques, and satellite-based methods. It gives detailed guidance on how and when the principal surveying instruments (total stations, levels, and navigational satellite receivers) should be used. It fully and clearly explains the concepts and formulae needed to convert instrument readings into useful and reliable results. It provides rigorous explanations of the theoretical background to surveying, as well as a wealth of useful advice about conducting a survey in practice. An accompanying least-squares adjustment program is available for download.
