Learning outcomes: Student gains theoretic knowledge and the practical skills to elaborate sets of surveying data. Particularly student gains knowledge of the law of error propagation and its practical use in miscellaneous geodetic tasks. Student knows the foundations of matrix algebra and the methods for solving the systems of linear equations Skills Graduate of the subject allows to use different methods for self-elaboration of the problems concerning the accuracy analysis, direct observations elaboration, solving sets of equations.
Competences: Student understands the importance of selecting an effective method of solving a particular practical task Student is aware of the need for a synthetic presentation of specific information
Prerequisites: math analysis I, math analysis II, statistic , surveying I, surveying II
