Adjustment computation II
SVG 308 | SVG | 2nd Semester |

Course Synopsis

This course is an advance applied mathematics procedure designed primarily for students in Surveying and Geoinformatics. As a mathematical course, the focus is to impart useful skills on the students in order to increase their ability in solving mathematical problems in surveying. As various measurement in surveying contains errors in various form, and since through value of a measurement can never be achieved expect the mean value which is closer to the through value. In this course, procedure for minimising the effect of the error will be discuss and techniques and application supported by sufficient formal proofs and worked examples will be provided. Each of the course topics provide a guide for the students through worked examples to demonstrate the procedure and allow student mastery of the topic.
