Course objectives:
|
The main goal of this subject is to acquire knowledge in the field of theoretical foundations of geodesy. These are mathematical and physical methods and procedures used in geodesy to describe and represent the gravitational field of planetary bodies. Graduates of the course will acquire the necessary knowledge to understand the importance of the study of global geometric and physical properties of the Earth, their temporal variations, for surveying practice on a local or regional scale.
|
Requirements on student
|
Participants are expected to attend actively all lectures and assignments. Reports with results must be submitted on time, eventual delays are taken into the account during classification. Participants are required to write a short mid-term test to check on their progress. A compulsory written exam concludes the course. Students with all reports submitted on time and without significant deficiencies, with the successfully written mid-term test and final exam, are admitted to a final oral exam during the examining period.
