Courses - GPS 101
GPS 101 Mathematics Refresher
(currently offered as non-credit (NC) only): Real and complex
number systems and operations, basic functions, linear algebra
with emphasis on matrices, eigenvalues, eigenvectors,
differentiation, integration, elements of vector calculus,
spherical trigonometry, interpolation, solution of linear and
non-linear equation systems, quadratic forms, minimization of
multi-dimensional functions, basic univariate distributions and
functions thereof, and multivariate normal distribution.
This refresher course serves
individuals who practice surveying and engineering and would like
to refresh mathematical skills. This course selectively addresses
topics that are needed to understand the mathematical foundation
of GPS positioning and GPS data processing, including adjustments.
The material covered is typically spread over 3-4 "traditional
university" courses. The depth pf coverage is sufficient to assure
success in the other GPS-GAP courses.
