Department of Geodesy and Geomatics Engineering, University of New Brunswick, 1973. - 40 p.These notes are laid out with the intention that this booklet will serve as a notebook for the student as well as providing him with most of material that will presented in the lectures. It is assumed that the student has complete mastery of the art of manipulating expressions in differential calculus, algebra and trigonometry; numerous opportunities are provided for him to practice this skill.
These notes have evolved from the lecture notes prepared by Dr. Gottfried Konecny in 1965 supplemented by material from Mathematical Cartography by F. Fiala.ContentsIntroduction
