Application of Gauss-Bonnet Theorem to Geodesy
Publication: Journal of Surveying Engineering
Volume 128, Issue 3
Abstract
The Gauss-Bonnet theorem was studied and applied to a geodesic triangle and the results given. The aim of this paper is to take a subject whose results are given mostly superficial treatment and present a more clear and easily understandable introductory treatment for geodesy education.
