By Mohinder S. Grewal, Lawrence R. Weill & Angus P. Andrews. This book is organized for use as a text for an introductory course in GPS technology at the senior level or as a first-year graduate level course in GPS, INS, and Kalman filtering. It provides engineers, computer scientists, and others with a working familiarity with the theory and contemporary applications of Global Positioning Systems (GPS), Inertial Navigational Systems (INS), and Kalman filters. Throughout, the focus is on solving real-world problems, with an emphasis on the effective use of state-of-the-art integration techniques for those systems, especially the application of Kalman filtering. To that end, the authors explore the various subtleties, common failures, and inherent limitations of the theory as it applies to real-world situations, and provide numerous detailed application examples and practice problems, including GPS-aided INS, modeling of gyros and accelerometers, and WAAS and LAAS.

By Gilbert Strang & Kai Borre, ISBN 0-9614088-6-3
This book offers a combined treatment of the science of Geodesy (the measurementof heights and angles and distances on the Earth) and the modern technologyof global positioning systems (GPS) . It explores the issue of how toaccount for measurement error and redundant yet inconsistent information.The approach, and the text are based on linear algebra, the fundamentaltool in positioning calculations. The sections on Geodesy cover the correctweightings for observation errors and the development of least squares.Finally, GPS is described at several levels: first, the basic structureof the GPS system; then, the algorithms that yield accurate positionsfrom inaccurate pseudoranges; and finally, the Kalman filtering that providessuperior accuracy in postprocessing a long series of observations.CompanionSoftware: The authors have developed a set of MATLAB M-files that maybe retrieved from http://www.i4.auc.dk/borre/matlab/.

By George M. Hornberger / Jeffrey P. Raffensperger & Keith N. Eshleman, ISBN 0-8018-5857-7
In this intoductory level text, the authors begin from the premise thatthe complexities of modern hydrology can be mastered by understandingbasic physical principles of fluid movement. Focusing first on analysisat the scale of a single watershed, they then introduce the mechanicsof fluids in closed conduits and open channels. They reevaluate catchmentprocesses in light of fluid mechanics, open channel hydraulics, and groundwaterflow. In a concluding chapter, they stress the importance of understandingwater movement in the environment by exploring the relationship of hydrologyto such disciplines as atmospheric science, ecology, and geology.

| Population Ecology: An Introduction to Computer Simulations
|
Update Link / Bad Link? |
|
By Ruth Bernstein. Written for undergraduate students in ecology, population biology, or conservation, this book discusses population dynamics through time using computer simulations. The book focuses on biology rather than mathematical procedures, and teaches the programming and analyzing skills students need to create their own models of population change. MATLAB and the Symbolic Math Toolbox are used throughout the book to solve example problems.
