Geodetic Surveying and the Adjustment of Observations: Method of Least Squares is a book written by Edward Lovering Ingram and published in 1911. The book is a comprehensive guide to geodetic surveying, which is the science of measuring and representing the earth's surface. It covers the methods and techniques used in geodetic surveying, including the use of instruments such as the theodolite and the sextant, as well as the mathematical principles that underpin the science.One of the key topics covered in the book is the method of least squares, which is a statistical technique used to analyze and adjust surveying observations. The book provides a detailed explanation of the method, including its history, principles, and applications.The book also covers other topics related to geodetic surveying, such as geodesy, triangulation, and leveling. It includes numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand the concepts and apply them in practice.Overall, Geodetic Surveying and the Adjustment of Observations: Method of Least Squares is a valuable resource for anyone interested in geodetic surveying, including students, researchers, and professionals in the field. Its clear and concise explanations, along with its practical examples, make it an accessible and useful guide to this important area of science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
