Preface

The Instructor’s Manual has been prepared as a convenience for instructors who adopt, for use in
their classes, the textbook ELEMENTARY SURVEYING (AN INTRODUCTION TO
GEOMATICS), 13th Edition, by Charles D. Ghilani and Paul R. Wolf. As a benefit to the
instructor, each problem consists of the book question and a derived solution. For most questions
a reference to the equations, section, and/or paragraph containing the answer has been included
together with a copy of the relevant material from the text. This is provided so that useful
feedback and references to the appropriate parts of the book can be easily provided to the
students. Every attempt has been made to provide correct responses to the questions, but most
assuredly, a few mistakes may have occurred. Please accept our apologies for them and correct
them in your printouts. Since there will be no reprints of the Instructors Manual, corrections will
not be made to these files. However, any erratum that is found is the book will be graciously
accepted by the author to update subsequent printings of this and future editions.
The companion website for this the book at http://www.pearsonhighered.com/ghilani contains
the software WOLFPACK, MATRIX, and STATS. These software packages are discussed
throughout the book were appropriate and can be used to check many of the solutions. These
software packages are freeware, and can be freely downloaded and installed on your computer
systems. However, they are only to be used for educational purposes and no support for using
these packages is implied or given. Discussions in the book and the accompanying help file
system should be sufficient for determining the proper procedures for using the software.
These software packages can be used by students to check their responses to numerical questions
in the book, or to do some of the more numerically intensive problems in the book that would
otherwise be extremely time-consuming. Additionally there is a software package called
PROBLEM GENERATOR, which uses a normal random number generator and statistics to
generate realistic data sets for a single observation, multiple observations, horizontal and vertical
networks, traverse problems, GNSS networks, and two-dimensional conformal coordinate
transformations. These software packages often only require coordinates of stations and the
desired observations to be determined. The generated observations are randomly perturbed using
a normal random number generator to create realistic data sets. This software can be used to
create instructor-generated additional problems for the practice and examination.
Also on the companion website is a Mathcad® electronic book (e-book) to accompany most of
the chapters in the book. Additionally, Mathcad worksheets have been developed for several map
projections mentioned in the book, but not thoroughly discussed. For those who do not have
Mathcad® , html files of these worksheets have also been placed on the companion website.
Additionally, several MS Excel® spreadsheets which demonstrate these computations are on the
companion website. All of the software on the companion website requires Windows 95 or later
operating system and have accompanying help files, which discuss their use. Mathcad requires
version 14.0 or higher.
