Mathematical Foundation of Geodesy : Selected Papers of Torben Krarup

This volume contains selected papers by Torben Krarup, one of the most important geodesists of the 20th century. The collection includes the famous booklet "A Contribution to the Mathematical Foundation of Physical Geodesy" from 1969, the unpublished "Molodenskij letters" from 1973, the final version of "Integrated Geodesy" from 1978, "Foundation of a Theory of Elasticity for Geodetic Networks" from 1974, as well as trend-setting papers on the theory of adjustment.

Kai Borre has been a professor of geodesy at Aalborg University since 1976. His professional interests are geodesy and satellite based positioning and navigation. He is the (co)author of seven textbooks and has published numerous scientific reviewed papers. He is also an editor of GPS Solutions. Dr. Borre is renowned for having written several hundred Matlab scripts for positioning. He is honorary doctor of the Vilnius Gediminas Technical University.
