The aim of these lectures is to give the students an understanding of surveying theory. They should also learn about standard surveying equipments. Methods of surveying and computation of results are presented. Emphasis is placed on accuracy of measurements and valuation of errors, since these are important criteria for choosing an appropriate method in the practice. The lectures aim to provide the information and skills needed for this particular decision-making process.
