Described are the theory and its fundamental concepts, its application for processing, analyzing, transforming, and projecting geospatial data, and how these are used in producing charts and atlases. Also touched upon are the multitude of cross-overs into other sciences sharing in the adventure of discovering what our world really looks like.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Written in a fluid and accessible style, replete with exercises; adaptable for courses on different levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Suitable for students and professionals in the mapping sciences, but also for lovers of maps and map making.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMartin Vermeer \u003c\/b\u003eis professor of geodesy in the Department of the Built Environment, Aalto University, Finland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAntti Rasila is associate professor of mathematics at Guangdong Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Guangdong, China.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 292\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.61 x 10 x 7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 30, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51784917614880,"sku":"9781032177540","price":100.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/67ae679e68dcab69d798070481f55a52.webp?v=1780609741","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/map-of-the-world-an-introduction-to-mathematical-geodesy-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
