E-Book Overview

Department of Geodesy and Geomatics Engineering, University of New Brunswick, 1971. – 192 p.
<em>These notes have been compiled in an attempt to integrate a description of the method of least squares as used in surveying with: a) statistical concepts; b) linear algebra using matrix notation; and c) the use of digital computers.They are a culmination of concepts first described at a symposium held in 1964 at the University of New Brunswick on The Impact of Electronic Computers on Geodetic Adjustments (see The Canadian Surveyor, Vol. IX, No. 1, March 1965).
