The second edition of a bestseller, Mathematical Techniques in GIS
demystifies the mathematics used in the manipulation of spatially
related data. The author takes a step-by-step approach through the
basics of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus
that underpin the management of such data. He then explores the use
of matrices, determinants and vectors in the handling of geographic
information so that the data may be analyzed and displayed in
two-dimensional form either in the visualization of the terrain or
as map projections. See What's New in the Second Edition: Summaries
at the end of each chapter Worked examples of techniques described
Additional material on matrices and vectors Further material on map
projections New material on spatial correlation A new section on
global positioning systems Written for those who need to make use
geographic information systems but have a limited mathematical
background, this book introduces the basic statistical techniques
commonly used in geographic information systems and explains
best-fit solutions and the mathematics behind satellite
positioning. By understanding the mathematics behind the gathering,
processing, and display of information, you can better advise
others on the integrity of results, the quality of the information,
and the safety of using it.
