Abstract
A potential answer to modern challenges faced by geospatialists such as geodesists and geoinformatists (see, e.g., Sect. 1.3), lies in the application of algebraic and numeric computational techniques. The present book provides an in-depth look at algebraic computational methods and combines them with special local and global numerical methods like the Extended Newton-Raphson and the Homotopy continuation method to provide smooth and efficient solutions to real life-size problems often encountered in geodesy and geoinformatics, but which cannot be adequately solved by algebraic methods alone. Some new but very effective techniques in geospatial, e.g., multiobjective optimization, symbolic regression, and robust estimation are also introduced.
