Synopsis

The ninth edition of Paul Wolf and Russell Brinker's best-selling text, Elementary Surveying, has been substantially revised so that students are informed of the latest technological developments in both field and office work. A highly readable introduction to the field of surveying (and past winner of the National Award for Excellence), this textbook emphasizes the theory of errors and correlation of theory and practical field methods. To remind students that surveyors must constantly strive to reduce the sizes of errors and eliminate mistakes, lists of typical errors and mistakes are given at the end of most chapters.

A propos du livre

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

This best-selling, highly readable introduction to surveying contains basic theory and practical material both for field and office work. Chapters are arranged in a logical and progressive order, with earlier chapters covering fundamentals suitable for a first course in surveying, and later chapters taking on advanced topics appropriate for a second course. Coverage includes the theory of errors and correlations of theory and practical field methods, as well as a review of traditional equipment such as tapes, levels, and theodolites. The ninth edition is completely in sync with new technology, and features a new chapter on the Geographic Information Systems (GISs); a rewritten chapter on state plane coordinates that accommodates changes resulting from NAD83; and updated and expanded coverage of total stations, automatic data collectors and the Global Positioning System (GPS). More than 900 end-of-chapter problems, updated in this edition, reinforce the text's message.
