Coordinates in Geodesy

by Siegfried Heitz

In Coordinates in Geodesy definitions and transformations are treated based on the general principles of differential geometry for surfaces and three-dimensional Euclidean space, strictly using the tensor calculus. The broad approach applying general concepts of constructing and transforming coordinates allows clearly arranged solutions for all geodetic applications. Moreover, the great number of examples given in this book explain in detail the principles of coordinates in geodetic surveying using ellipsoids of revolution as reference surfaces.
