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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eSee What's New in the Second Edition: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSummaries at the end of each chapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eWorked examples of techniques described\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eAdditional material on matrices and vectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eFurther material on map projections \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eNew material on spatial correlation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eA new section on global positioning systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten 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.
