Basis of geodesy and mathematical cartography 1900-3-PGK-KT
Lecture topics include the following issues from the field of geodesy and mathematical cartography: geodetic reference systems.
Curvilinear coordinate systems used in geodesy and cartography. Height systems and reference levels. Geodetic measurement networks.
Modern geodetic measuring instruments. Methods and techniques of situational and height measurements. Characteristics of the global
positioning system and its usage in geodesy.
The concept and properties of cartographic map projections. Map projections distortion theory. Classification of cartographic map
projections. Methodology for determining the projection functions. Characteristics of map projections used to develop Polish topographic
maps. Rules of map projection selection.
Exercises are devoted to practical usage of the knowledge covered during the lectures in order to solve basic computing tasks and geodetic
construction.

Assessment criteria
Written exam confirming the knowledge and understanding of the topics covered during the lectures and their exemplification on the exercises.
Continuous evaluation.
The final evaluation of the course includes an assessment of the exercises (50%) as well as the assessment of the
written tests based on the lectures (50%).
Attendance at exercises is obligatory. The student has the right to two unexcused absence during classes. The student should do these
exercises on his own and send an e-mail or show the results to the lecturer in one week time.
