Maths for Map Makers
Dr. Arthur L. Allan
This volume is designed to assist anyone with the mathematics involved in map making. It starts from an elementary standpoint and progresses to give the student a sufficient level of understanding to cope with most topics encountered by the map maker, including those of elementary surveying. The material is in two carefully cross-referenced parts. Mathematical topics and concepts are presented in the first part, enabling the relevance of each topic to be made clear, while the second part contains a glossary and formulae summaries with several appendices.
