Coordinate Systems And Their Interconnection: An Introduction With Ready To Use Algorithms
By: Bodo E. Seyfert
The purpose of the book, Coordinate Systems And Their Interconnection, An Introduction With Ready To Use Algorithms, is to provide a certain mathematical approach, which can be used - for instance, to students and engineers so they can become more easily grounded in the interconnection of certain geodetic problems - as ready-for-use algorithms (methodologies) for the conversion of given coordinates and distance calculations (assessments) based upon these coordinates.
The book presupposes some basic knowledge in the areas of coordinate systems and vector representation, and provides sample algorithms written in the MATLAB/SIMULINK environment.
However, this book might also be of interest for a wider readership looking for this kind of mathematical application in connection with personal studies or professional activities.
About the Author
In the author's practice, there were cases when engineering problems arising from technical analyses required the involvement of other disciplines not related to his professional knowledge. In such instances, finding the needed information in the vast numbers of publications and textbooks was not as easy as one may have thought. Several of those incidents turned into the starting point for this book.
