To acquire basic and applied knowledge in the field of geodesy, geomatics and geoinformatics. Introducing students with basic principles of triangulation as a method for determining the geodetic basic points.

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

Lecture content: - Fundamental notions of triangulation as a method for determining the geodetic basic points. - Designing, stabilization and signalization of trigonometric points. - Methods for measuring lines and angles. - Observing lines from eccentric standpoints, and centralizing them. - Reducing lines sensitive to eccentric signals. - Fundamentals in calculating in Cartesian coordinate system. - Determining approximate coordinates. -Fundamentals of trilateration. - Indirect equalization. Equations of repairs of different measured quantities. - Conditional equalization-linear model and estimates of the smallest squares. Practice content: Practical application of the presented concepts from lectures.

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