THEODOLITE INTERSECTION IN THREE DIMENSIONS
A. L. Allan · Survey Review · 1996
This is the fourth of a series of articles presenting ideas and methods of surveying which will be of value to students, or practitioners new to the particular applications described. The treatment is deliberately elementary and the examples are simplified so that the various concepts can be developed with clarity. Now and then, the editor will enter a word of caution in the text, where he feels that the treatment has been oversimplified or for other reasons. In this article, the precise formula for the computation for theodolite intersection in three dimensions is given. Once again, the use of Excel spreadsheets for calculation is advocated.
