Mathematical Foundation of Geodesy Selected Papers of Torben Krarup
Produktdetaljer
From the reviews: "The papers were written in the period 1962-1998 and present a wide range of significant topics in the mathematical foundation of geodesy. ... All the articles are mathematically well founded and scientifically relevant. The book will be of interest to mathematicians and geodesists as well as to students and historians." (Alexander Denisjuk, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2007 i) "Torben Krarup is one of the most outstanding theoretical geodesists ... of the last 50 years. ... written many small informal papers which circulated among friends and exerted considerable influence, not only in the geodetic community, but also, e.g. on the well-known mathematician L. Hormander ... . The present book comprises most of such ... informal papers. ... It is a must to all people, working in physical geodesy, to read this book ... ." (Helmut Moritz, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1162, 2009)
This volume contains selected papers by Torben Krarup, one of the most important geodesists of the 20th century. His writings are mathematically well founded and scientifically relevant. In this impressive collection of papers he demonstrates his rare innovative ability to present significant topics and concepts. Modern students of geodesy can learn a lot from his selection of mathematical tools for solving actual problems.
The collection contains the famous booklet "A Contribution to the Mathematical Foundation of Physical Geodesy" from 1969, the unpublished "Molodenskij letters" from 1973, the final version of "Integrated Geodesy" from 1978, "Foundation of a Theory of Elasticity for Geodetic Networks" from 1974, as well as numerous trend setting papers on the theory of adjustment.
