Algebraic Geodesy and Geoinformatics
Springer 2010; US$ 169.99The book presents modern and efficient methods for solving Geodetic and Geoinformatics algebraic problems illustrated with Mathematica using computer algebra techniques of Ring, Polynomials, Groebner basis, Resultants including Dixon resultant, Gauss-Jacobi combinatorial and Procrustes algorithms as well as homotopy methods. These problems are traditionally... more...
Galileo's New Universe
BenBella Books, Inc. 2009; US$ 14.95The historical and social implications of the telescope and that instrument?s modern-day significance are brought into startling focus in this fascinating account. When Galileo looked to the sky with his perspicillum, or spyglass, roughly 400 years ago, he could not have fathomed the amount of change his astonishing findings?a seemingly flat moon... more...
Full Meridian of Glory
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...
VI Hotine-marussi Symposium on Theoretical and Computational Geodesy
Springer 2008; US$ 179.99This 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,... more...
Vite matematiche
Springer 2007; US$ 23.99Lo scibile matematico si espande a un ritmo vertiginoso. Nel corso degli ultimi cinquant'anni sono stati dimostrati piů 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... more...
Mathematical Foundation of Geodesy
Springer 2006; US$ 179.99Contains 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...

Solving Algebraic Computational Problems in Geodesy and Geoinformatics
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2005; US$ 129.99The 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... more...
Minding the Heavens
CRC Press 2002; US$ 41.95This 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...
