This 14th Edition of Elementary Surveying: An Introduction to Geomatics
is a readable text that presents basic concepts and practical material in each
of the areas fundamental to modern surveying geomatics practice. It is
written pri-marily for students beginning their study of surveying geomatics
at the college level. Although the book is introductry to the practice of
surveying, its depth and breadth also make it ideal for self-study and
preparation for licensing examina-tions.
In keeping with the goal of providing an up-to-date presentation of surveying
equipment and procedures, total stations are stressed as the instruments for making
angle and distance observations. With this in mind, a section on planning a groundbased laser scanning survey has been introduced in this edition. Additionally, the
LandXML format to exchange mapping files has also been introduced.
Since taping is now limited to distances under one-tape length and since tape
corrections are seldom, if ever, performed in practice, tape correction problems
have been moved to Appendix A. However, it is still important that the study of
surveying including a complete presentation of taping so that students understand
the proper use of tapes. Thus a discussion of the correction for systematic errors
found in taping are still retained in this edition. Furthermore, transits and theodolites, which are not used in practice, are just briefly introduced in the main body
of the text for historical purposes. For those who still use these instruments, the
reader should refer to previous editions of this book.
As with past editions, this book continues to emphasize the theory of
errors in surveying work. At the end of each chapter, common errors and mistakes related to the topic covered are listed so that students will be reminded
to exercise caution in all of their work. Practical suggestions resulting from the
authors’ many years of experience are interjected throughout the text.
