Excerpt from The Elements of Geodetic Astronomy: For Civil Engineers This book was written for the students in the course in civil engineering at the Ohio State University and to put in permanent form the author's manner of presenting this subject. After an experience of over sixteen years in teaching geodetic astronomy to engineering students, he is firmly convinced of the value of this subject as a training for the young engineer. Practical astronomy gives, as nothing else does, experience in precise measurement and in handling long and intricate calculations. The equipment which this book presupposes is not expensive. An investment of $4000 would be sufficient to provide amply for a class of twenty. In the derivation of formulæ, the author has sought directness of method rather than elegance of mathematical analysis. In the numerical examples, taken from observations made at the Emerson McMillin Observatory, he has aimed to furnish the student with models of correct forms for note-book record as well as of correct forms for reduction sheets. He has placed much emphasis upon the theodolite, as that is the instrument of the engineer and the one above all others with which he should become familiar.

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.
