Map of the World : An Introduction to Mathematical Geodesy
Carl Friedrich Gauss the foremost of mathematicians was a land surveyor. Measuring and calculating geodetic networks on the curved Earth was the inspiration for some of his greatest mathematical discoveries. This is just one example of how mathematics and geodesy the science and art of measuring and mapping our world have evolved together throughout history. This text is for students and professionals in geodesy land surveying and geospatial science who need to understand the mathematics of describing the Earth and capturing her in maps and geospatial data: the discipline known as mathematical geodesy. Map of the World: An Introduction to Mathematical Geodesy aims to provide an accessible introduction to this area presenting and developing the mathematics relating to maps mapping and the production of geospatial data. Described are the theory and its fundamental concepts its application for processing analyzing transforming and projecting geospatial data and how these are used in producing charts and atlases. Also touched upon are the multitude of cross-overs into other sciences sharing in the adventure of discovering what our world really looks like. FEATURES• Written in a fluid and accessible style replete with exercises; adaptable for courses on different levels. • Suitable for students and professionals in the mapping sciences but also for lovers of maps and map making. | Map of the World An Introduction to Mathematical Geodesy

This applies to all products except for digital items (e.g. Digital Music) that are provided immediately to you with your acknowledgement, and other items such as video, DVD, audio, video games, Sex and Sensuality products and software products where the item has been unsealed.
Refunds
Sellers have to offer a refund for certain items only if they are faulty, such as: Personalised items and custom-made items, Perishable items, Newspapers and magazines, Unwrapped CDs DVDs and computer software. If you used your PayPal balance or bank account to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your PayPal account balance. If you used a credit or debit card to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your card. The seller will effect the refund within three working days but it may take up to 30 days for Paypal to process the transfer. For payments funded partially by a card and partially by your balance/bank, the money taken from your card will go back to your card and the remainder will return to your PayPal balance.
