In this paper we describe the development of an interactive virtual environment whose objective is to improve undergraduate students’ representational fluency in surveying mathematics. One problem with teaching surveying is a general decline in the math skills of students taking surveying courses, and a decline in the students’ ability to transfer these concepts into practice in the context of ...

Laser-controlled land leveling system can obviously improve the planeness of the field and enhance the efficiency of irrigation. The 3D topographic information was needed for project design and evaluation of laser land leveling. In order to obtain the topographic information efficiently, an onboard field 3D topography surveying system was developed. The surveying system consisted of a measuring...

It is not probable that many of you would be interested in the academic presentation of a method for finding the area of a given polygon, as you each have a system of your own which is probably mathematically acceptable. However, I might take the liberty of citing to you pages 300 and 301 in Engineering Surveys, Elementary and Applied, by Rubey, Lommel, Todd, where you will find a good discussi...
