Abstract: Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, Latin for "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy", often referred to as simply the Principia, is a work in three books by Sir Isaac Newton, first published 5 July 1687. After annotating and correcting his personal copy of the first edition, Newton also published two further editions, in 1713 and 1726. The Principia states Newton's laws of motion, forming the foundation of classical mechanics, also Newton's law of universal gravitation, and a derivation of Kepler's laws of planetary motion (which Kepler first obtained empirically). The Principia is "justly regarded as the most important work in the history of science".
Abstract: The manual is in three main parts. The first part introduces the user to GPS
technology. This is intended to make the user grasp the basic principles of
GPS technology, its versatility but also be made aware the limitations.
The second deals with Datum (geoids & ellipsoids) and projections. Many GPS
users fail to relate to existing base maps just because they lack basic
understanding of this concept. The intention is thus to make the trainees get
familiar with these concepts.
In the third and most important part are a series of hands on exercises.
More emphasis will be put using GPS in real field conditions and collecting
data that relates to supervisorsâ day to day work.
