Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
This course deals with the application of least squared adjustment to topometric computations. A large part of the course is dedicated to the application of the theory of errors and to the use of some specific statistical tests in topometry.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Enable the student to apply the theory of errors (variance propagation / least-squares) to topometric computations (levelling, traversing, network).
Enable the student to evaluate the quality of topometric computations output including output of computing commercial software.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
theory of errors and basic land surveying
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Theory, tutorials, practicals. Problem-based approach.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
Face-to-face and autonomous work.
