This work is an introductory textbook on surveying and geoinformation for students in their 1st semester and beyond. Basic methods and procedures in balance calculation are dealt with in detail and modern concepts and methods of resolution are introduced. Alongside traditional observations, this book sets great store in the use of GPS readings, the handling of dating problems, the mindsets in robust statistics, dealing with transformation stages, plus resolution methods for examining deformations. Along with extensive derivations and justifications, the text contains numerous examples that contribute to the comprehension and learning of its content.
