Surveying is related to mathematics.

What surveying and mapping knowledge do you need?

Mapping book is a kind of work born in mathematicians. Therefore, it has a strong connection with mathematics, and this connection is also ranked high in science and engineering. Basic surveying mainly involves basic plane geometry, simple solid geometry, simple derivative integral and some simple ideas of probability and statistics. If you want to be a theoretical expert in this field, mathematics requires more. In the theoretical analysis of geometric geodesy, we should first master elementary calculus skillfully, because the analysis of ellipsoid needs to be familiar with the content of differential geometry, which may involve functional analysis technology. To solve the problem of physical geodesy, we need to be familiar with partial differential equations, analyze the properties of solutions, and know the related contents of complex variable function and integral transformation. For the processing of measurement data, we need a good foundation of probability theory. On this basis, we need to learn the basic content of stochastic process. With this foundation, we can understand all kinds of mathematical statistics methods well. The method of mathematical statistics is usually represented by matrix algebra. Therefore, the matrix theory of linear algebra must also be learned well. The analysis of geoscience content by surveying involves not only the direct application of mathematics, but also various mechanics, which may involve the variational method and the expression of tensor symbols in mechanics.
