Course detail

After completing the course, the students should be able touse the basics necessary to deal with terms as precision and accuracy, laws of errors propagation and principle of adjustment.

Student gets practical knowledge of teorie of errors, analysis and classified sources of measurement errors (instrumental errors, natural errors and personal errors). Student will manage laws of error propagation and principle of adjustment by last squares metod (adjustment direct observations and adjustment by elements).

Surveying and computing of measurements on the plane.Linear algebra - fundaments of matrix calculus, Analytic geometry, Derivative of a function, Taylors expansion of a function.

Classification of errors, laws of distibution errors, accuracy and precision, simple analysis of measurements, weight and cofactors, laws of propagation of errors, weights and cofactors, inverse formula, least squares method and adjustment, adjustment of direct observations, pairs of measurement, adjustment by elements, observation equations, residuals equations, normal equations and solution, standard deviations.
