While preparing and teaching 'Introduction to Geodesy I and II' to
undergraduate students at Stuttgart University, we noticed a gap
which motivated the writing of the present book: Almost every topic
that we taught required some skills in algebra, and in particular,
computer algebra! From positioning to transformation problems
inherent in geodesy and geoinformatics, knowledge of algebra and
application of computer algebra software were required. In
preparing this book therefore, we have attempted to put together
basic concepts of abstract algebra which underpin the techniques
for solving algebraic problems. Algebraic computational algorithms
useful for solving problems which require exact solutions to
nonlinear systems of equations are presented and tested on various
problems. Though the present book focuses mainly on the two ?elds,
the concepts and techniques presented herein are nonetheless
applicable to other ?elds where algebraic computational problems
might be encountered. In Engineering for example, network
densi?cation and robotics apply resection and intersection
techniques which require algebraic solutions. Solution of nonlinear
systems of equations is an indispensable task in almost all
geosciences such as geodesy, geoinformatics, geophysics (just to
mention but a few) as well as robotics. These equations which
require exact solutions underpin the operations of ranging,
resection, intersection and other techniques that are normally
used. Examples of problems that require exact solutions include; *
three-dimensional resection problem for determining positions and
orientation of sensors, e. g. , camera, theodolites, robots,
scanners etc.
