To acquire basic and applied knowledge in the field of geodesy, geomatics and geoinformatics.

Acquired knowledge is used in professional courses, as well as in the recognition and in solving the engineering problems.

Shape and size of the Earth, and approximations of the geoid using mathematically defined surface. Imaging the Earth on the plane. Types of coordinates on the geoid, ellipsoid and plain. Fundamental notions and definitions. Referential systems of Newton`s mechanics. Normal and deviated Earth movement. Conventional inertial referential system. Conventional inertial referential framework. Conventional terrestrial referential system. Conventional terrestrial referential framework. Modelling the dot positions. Topocentric referential system. Transformations of referential systems. Measuring in geodesy. Types of errors and their assessment.

Teaching forms: lectures, computer practice, consultations, individual elaboration of compulsory tasks. Knowledge evaluation: guided and individual elaboration of obligatory tasks; tests; final examination in oral form.
