About the Book

This book has been written for non-mathematicians who need to understand some of the assumptions that underlie the manipulation and display of geographic information. It assumes very little basic knowledge of mathematics but moves rapidly through a wide range of data transformations, outlining the techniques involved. Many of these are precise, building logically from certain underlying assumptions; others are based on statistical analysis and the pursuit of the optimum rather than the perfect, definite solution. Introduction to Mathematical Techniques Used in GIS lays a strong foundation for the more complex forms of manipulation that arise in the handling of spatially-related data.

Table of Contents:

Review :
"This book provides a good introduction to basic and fundamental mathematics normally assumed in GIS operations and the analysis of the resultsthe presentation is clear and easy to follow with numerous numerical examples. The key material is often summarized in boxes for use independently of a continuous reading of the textthis small book can be very useful as a text or reference in continuing education, especially for non-technical personnel. For self-study, problems and exercises from other references can be used to supplement this text." -Geomatica, Vol. 59. No. 2, 2005
