This book has been written for non-mathematicians who need to understand some of the assumptions that underlie the manipulation and display of geographic information. It assumes very little basic knowledge of mathematics but moves rapidly through a wide range of data transformations, outlining the techniques involved. Many of these are precise, building logically from certain underlying assumptions; others are based on statistical analysis and the pursuit of the optimum rather than the perfect, definite solution. Introduction to Mathematical Techniques Used in GIS lays a strong foundation for the more complex forms of manipulation that arise in the handling of spatially-related data.
