Theory of Satellite Geodesy: Applications of Satellites to Geodesy
Product Description In demonstrating how Newtonian gravitational theory and Euclidean geometry can be used and developed in Earth's environment, the text discusses earth's gravitational field; matrices and orbital geometry; satellite orbit dynamics; geometry of satellite observations; statistical implications; and data analysis. Prerequisites: introductory course in college physics and a first-year course in calculus. Reader Reviews I studied with Bill Kaula from 1964-66 at UCLA and used this text extensively at that time and later while doing research in satellite geodesy. Numerical methods are now much more accurate, but if you want insight into satellite orbit mechanics, this is the book to read. The first addition contained many typos and other errors, which have been corrected in the Dover edition. The book provides an outstanding entry into the field of satellite geodesy. Bruce C.
