The principles of higher geodesy
Abstract
Various aspects of the theory and practice of higher geodesy are described, with particular emphasis on the development of geodetic networks of regional significance. Particular attention is given to the earth's ellipsoid and its basic elements, the analysis of small spherical and spheroidal triangles, cartographic projection, Gauss projection, the principles of measurement accuracy, the design of geodetic networks, the measurement of horizontal and vertical angles, and the measurement of basic sides. Also considered are the principles of the least squares method and computations in triangulation, the development of regional geodetic networks by means of polygonometry, levelling techniques, the principles of geodetic astronomy, and a gyroscopic method for determining azimuth.
