Table of contents provided by Syndetics
- Some of the key features of this new edition include
- In more challenging areas such as bearing/azimuth computations, there are numerous examples showing a modest and appropriate level of math in a clear and direct style
- Expanded coverage of the new digital electronic instrumentation and its application in areas such as Geographic Positioning Systems (GPS)
- Civil engineering and technology applications are offered in such areas as highway construction design and municipal construction
