This book explores key concepts in GIS such as geodesy; the coordinate or referencing system for referring objects on Earth's surface. It explains how the spatial data and 3D surface of Earth are projected on to a flat surface to make a map through different map projection methods. It examines how three different types of geometry help in the analysis of spatial data. It also discusses the mathematical formulations of how to compute physical parameters of geometric and spatial quantities using different spatial data.
