Geodesy - Systems of reference and systems of coordinates, field of the terrestrial gravity, geoid, ellipsoid, undulation of the geoid, directed ellipsoids and geocentric, concept of datum, datum used in Italy, geodeticcoordinates , natural coordinate , Cartesian geocentric coordinate , coordinate Cartesian planar, local Cartesian coordinate, transformations among systems of coordinates and among datum, geometry of the ellipsoid, definitions of some geodetic dimensions, geometric approximations of the ellipsoid and the field of the gravity. Tools and Operations Of survey - Teodolite: general characteristics of the tool, definitions of the measurable greatness, angular measures and them errors, operational procedures to reduce the effects of the errors precisions. Level: general characteristics of the tool, definition of the measurable greatness, direct measure of the gradients and its errors, operational procedures to reduce the effects of the errors precisions. Measure of the distances: definition of the measurable greatness, methods and them circles of application; waves distanziometers and impulses ones, principles of operation, precisions. GPS: general characteristics of the system, principle of operation, measures of pseudorange and phase, linear combinations of measures of phase, signs to the elaboration of the measures GPS for topographical purposes, basic GPS. Fundamental principles of the operations of survey, terrestrial mixed survey and GPS. Statistic is Theory Of the Respect - aleatory Events, varying casual, average, the average's theorem, varianza, covarianza, law of propagation of the covarianza, signs to the principle of respect of the least squares. Adjustement Of the Nets - Equations of observation of the principal geodetic greatness in the Cartesian system of the local level (azimuthal direction, zenith angle, azimuthal angle, distance 3D, distance "horizontal", gradient), equation of observation of the basic GPS. Signs to: linearizzation of the equations of observation, application of the principle of estimation of the least squares to the adjustment of the nets, deficiency of rank of the nets, compensations intrinsic and constrained, concept of framing. Cartography - Concept of cartographic representation, cartographicdeformations , sort of cartographic representations, grafical error , equations of the cartographic representations, conformal representations, representation of Gauss, basics of the geodetic calculations on the plan of the representation of Gauss, cartographic systems used in Italy, Italian official cartography, basics on the numerical cartography. Reading of the coordinates on a "Sezione" of the "Carta d'Italia" 1:25000 scale. The new italian dinamic geodetic network.

No specific skills are required but basic mathematical and statistical knowledge as provided by the previous subjects is advisable.

TEACHING MATERIALS available on the course page hosted on: elearning.uniroma1.it

The examination consists of an oral interview aimed at assessing the ability to analyse and revise the concepts acquired. of the concepts acquired. The examination is graded from 0 to 30 and is conducted in oral form subject to prior booking by the student. The expected learning outcomes in terms of knowledge of the subject and the ability to apply it are assessed during the examination, together with communication skills, the ability to draw conclusions and the capacity for self-learning.

Students are free to attend or prepare on the material made available on the course web page hosted by elearning.uniroma1.it. The programme and examination procedures are the same for both students and non-attending students.

Generally, three questions are asked on three different topics, each of which has the same value, so 10 points towards the final result. However, the student must demonstrate at least a basic knowledge of all three topics otherwise the examination is failed.

Recommended optional texts: - W Schofield, M. Breach, "Engineering Surveying", Butterworth-Heinemann (Elsevier)

Teaching will be delivered in face-to-face, remote or blended modes in accordance with the University's current regulations.
