Algebraic Geodesy and Geoinformatics (PDF)

From the reviews of the second edition:

“I compliment the authors on this book because it brings together mathematical methods for the solution of multi-variable polynomial equations that are hardly covered side by side in any ordinary mathematical book: The book explains both algebraic ("exact") and numerical ("approximate") methods. It also points to the recent combination of algebraic and numerical methods ("hybrid" methods), which is currently one of the most promising directions in the area of computer mathematics. Prof. Dr.phil. Dr.h.c.mult. Bruno Buchberger, Professor of Computer Mathematics, and Head of Softwarepark Hagenberg. … As the person responsible for Mathematica's GroebnerBasis and NSolve implementations, I am delighted to see them put to such practical use. It is, moreover, a pleasure to see methods from an abstract branch of mathematics come into play in attacking problems from a very important branch of technology.” Daniel Lichtblau, Wolfram Research.

“The book consists of the two parts. In the first part, the authors give a review of some known results in linear algebra and numerical methods which are used in the second part. The second part is the basic in the book. … Each theoretical statement given in the book is accompanied with many careful neat examples. A rich bibliography envelopes all basic directions in algebraic geodesy and geoinformatics.”­­­ (I. V. Boikov, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1197, 2010)
