About this course

A complete first-stage engineering surveying course in 42 pages. It defines the discipline, explains the three fundamental measurements (distance, angle and coordinates), contrasts plane and geodetic surveying, and then builds a practical toolkit for area — metric and English units, uniform and non-uniform figures, coordinates, offsets, digitising, DMD and the planimeter — before closing with volumes.

Plane vs. geodetic surveying and core measurements
Unit conversions including hectare, dunam and acre
Five methods of area computation with examples
