Reviews
"""This book addresses mathematics and computational methods that are not usually covered by common GIS books. Unlike other books that only teach people how to apply GIS and use GIS software, this book describes the underlying principles and mathematical equations. Engineers who develop innovative tools for GIS users would find this book useful."" --Shipeng Sun, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, USA ""There are only few books that deal with mathematical aspects of GIS. This book will help to fill this gap. The most valuable contribution of this book is the fact that it effectively pervades mathematical equations and formulas to discuss geospatial concepts and principles. GIS topics are amply covered, and are approached in a way that will help students of GIS to gain greater knowledge of the computational aspects of spatial data collection, transformation, manipulation, analysis and application."" --Shrinidhi Ambinakudige, Mississippi State University"
