| Purpose of the course: |
The aim of this course is to provide the students with the ability to explain the mathematical principles of the ellipsoid plane projection methods in map production. In this process, ellipsoid to plane, plane to ellipsoid, Gauss-Krüger and Lambert conform projections will be gained with the ability to apply. The direct and inverse solution with Gauss-Krüger coordinates will be able to apply. |
