Surveyor Reference Manual

For surveyors and those preparing for the Fundamentals of Surveying or Principles and Practices of Surveying exam, Cole, a practicing surveyor, and the late Harbin (the original author) walk through worked problems for reviewing mathematics basics, field data acquisition, plane survey calculations, geodesy and survey astronomy, cadastral and boundary law, mapping skills, and business management practices. The introduction reviews what is in the exam, its format, and how to take it. The fifth edition adds chapters on aerial mapping and hydrographic surveying.
