GeometricalGeodesy

Advanced Geodetic Computation in Mathematica

Mathematica 5.2 compatible

GeometricalGeodesy implements everything necessary for fundamental geodesy and analytical cartography. It computes coordinates in various data and coordinate systems, contains algorithms for classical forward and inverse problems, and enables computations with the extended Newton-Raphson, Robbins, and Vincenty methods. A large selection of reference ellipsoids and geodetic data is provided, which can be user-supplemented.


Key Features

  • Units section defines many linear and angular units.
  • Contains many geodetic reference ellipsoids used in surveying and mapping.
  • Can use input projections to implement the Universal Transverse Mercator and State Plane Coordinate systems.
  • Provides a standard geometrical geodesy core, allowing a broad range of advanced computations.
