Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Practical Astronomy and Geodesy These Notes form the substance of a course of lectures in Practical Astronomy and Geodesy given to students of the Third Year in Civil Engineering of the Faculty of Applied Science. And Engineering of the University of Toronto. These lectures are only designed to meet the requirements of the engineer or land surveyor in his ordinary practice, or those of the explorer wishing to determine his position in an unsettled country, and therefore barely touch upon the precise methods of the geodetic surveyor. The subjects treated how, ever and the methods of treatment, are fundamental; so that the course serves as a useful introduction for those who desire to extend their studies to the higher parts of the subject.
