Minding the Heavensby Leila Belkora
CRC Press 2002; US$ 32.95This text is about how we discovered that we live in a galaxy, in fact a universe full of galaxies. It tells the story of the discovery of our own and other galaxies through the lives of seven astronomers, who contributed greatly to our present understanding of where we live in the cosmos. more...
Solving Algebraic Computational Problems in Geodesy and Geoinformaticsby Joseph L. Awange; Erik W. Grafarend
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2005; US$ 159.00The book presents modern and efficient methods for solving Geodetic and Geoinformatics algebraic problems using computer algebra techniques of Ring, polynomials, Groebner basis, resultants, Gauss-Jacobi combinatorial and Procrustes algorithms. Although these problems are traditionally solved by approximate methods, this book presents alternative algebraic techniques based on computer algebra tools. This new approach meets such modern challenges as resection by laser techniques, solution of orientation in robotics, transformation and bundle block adjustment in geoinformatics, densification of engineering networks, analytical solution for GPS-meteorology and many other problems. For mathematicians the book provides some practical examples of... more...
Mathematical Foundation of Geodesyby Kai Borre
Springer 2006; US$ 219.00Contains selected papers by Torben Krarup, one of the most important geodesists of the 20th century. This book demonstrates his innovative ability to present significant topics and concepts. It is suitable for modern students of geodesy, who can learn a lot from his selection of mathematical tools for solving actual problems. more...
VI Hotine-marussi Symposium on Theoretical and Computational Geodesyby Peiliang Xu; Jingnan Liu; Athanasios Dermanis
Springer 2008; US$ 199.00This volume of proceedings is a collection of refereed papers resulting from the VI Hotine-Marussi Symposium on Theoretical and Computational Geodesy. The papers cover almost every topic of geodesy, with particular emphasis on satellite gravity modelling, geodynamics, GPS data processing and applications, statistical estimation and prediction theory, and geodetic inverse problem theory and geodetic boundary value problems. Particular attention is paid to topics of fundamental importance in the next one or two decades in Earth Science, seafloor geodesy, for example, and in statistics, mixed integer linear models, for example, and even goes beyond traditional geodetic topics, environmental monitoring by geodetic methods, for example. It serves... more...
Geodäsieby Wolfgang Torge
Walter de Gruyter, Inc. 2002; US$ 55.95This book gives a systematic overview of the fundamental theories, frameworks and methods for measurement and evaluation applying to geodesy, though the contribution of geodetic spatial techniques for positioning and for establishing the gravitational field receives particular emphasis. These methods have led to a change in the setting up of geodetic basic networks that is also of importance in practical terms; for interdisciplinary geodynamics research geodesy can likewise make major contributions with their assistance. The current status of geodesy is illustrated by numerous examples from survey, evaluation and analysis; an extensive literature list makes further study all the easier. The book conveys an extensive overview of the profound... more...
Vite matematicheby C. Bartocci; R. Betti; A. Guerraggio; R. Lucchetti
Springer 2007; US$ 29.95Lo scibile matematico si espande a un ritmo vertiginoso. Nel corso degli ultimi cinquant'anni sono stati dimostrati più teoremi che nei precedenti millenni della storia umana. Per illustrare la ricchezza della matematica del Novecento, il presente volume porta sulla ribalta alcuni dei protagonisti di questa straordinaria impresa intellettuale, che ha messo a nostra disposizione nuovi e potenti strumenti per indagare la realtà che ci circonda. Presentando matematici famosi accanto ad altri meno noti al grande pubblico ? da Hilbert a Gödel, da Turing a Nash, da De Giorgi a Wiles ? i ritratti raccolti in questo volume ci presentano personaggi dal forte carisma personale, dai vasti interessi culturali, appassionati nel difendere l?importanza delle... more...
Full Meridian of Gloryby Paul Murdin
Springer 2008; US$ 27.50The Paris Meridian is the name of the line running north-south through the astronomical observatory in Paris. The French government financed the Paris Academy of Sciences to determine and measure this line in the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries. It employed both astronomers and geodesists. This book discusses about what they did and why. more...
