Structure of the notion 'error', selected sections from matrix calculation necessary for solving large linear equation systems, calculus of probability, randomized parameters and their distribution, spreading of variance, adjustment methods, calculation of most likely solutions for parameters and their accuracies, analysis and interpretation of observation series, statistical tests for geodetic models.
Based on a detailed text, the concepts are discussed, formulae developped, and illustrative examples presented in form of frontal lectures.
Written examination of the knowledge about the application of the theory on the basis of examples like in the exercise
Oral examination of theoretical knowledge (focus on interrelations, less on explicit formula knowledge)
Basic knowledge in mathematics (matrix calculations, differential calculus), basic geodetic knowledge
