Geodetic Surveying And The Adjustment Of Observations

""Geodetic Surveying and the Adjustment of Observations: Method of Least Squares"" is a comprehensive guide to the principles and techniques of geodetic surveying. Written by Edward Lovering Ingram and first published in 1911, this book covers the theory and practice of geodetic surveying, including the measurement of angles, distances, and elevations, as well as the adjustment of observations using the method of least squares.The book begins with an overview of the basic principles of geodetic surveying, including the Earth's shape and size, the measurement of angles and distances, and the determination of elevations. It then covers the various methods of observation and measurement used in geodetic surveying, including the use of theodolites, levels, and other instruments.The book also provides a detailed explanation of the method of least squares, which is used to adjust observations and minimize errors in geodetic surveying. This method involves using mathematical equations to calculate the most probable values for the measured quantities, based on the observed data.Throughout the book, Ingram provides numerous examples and practical applications of the principles and techniques of geodetic surveying. He also includes detailed illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the concepts and procedures involved.Overall, ""Geodetic Surveying and the Adjustment of Observations: Method of Least Squares"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the theory and practice of geodetic surveying, from students and researchers to professional surveyors and engineers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
