Linear algebra in geodesy  

Description

The course covers those aspects of linear algebra which are needed in teaching basic geodetic theories and methods. The assumed effect of the course is a good skill in the use of vector-matrix calculus in solving basic geodetic problems; a good skill in interpretation with the use of methods and concepts of linear algebra of the solution of geodetic problems, like the least-squares approximation or the network solutions. We focus attention on the application of matrix factorization methods, such as those using triangular matrices (A=LU, A=LDU’, PA=LU, A=P1L1U1), those associated with matrix diagonalization associated with the eigenvalue problem (A=SΛS-1, A=QΛQT) and those following from the orthogonalization procedures (A=QR).
