COORDINATE GEOMETRY
4.0 semester hours equivalent (non-transferable)
Recommended Prerequisite(s):
HORIZONTAL and VERTICAL SURVEY COMPUTATIONS

This course covers how to use coordinates to solve geometric problems with an emphasis on using a calculator program that will be an aid on the job. Topics include coordinate handling, traversing, inversing, intersections, resections, three-point curves, areas (including irregular boundaries and predetermined areas), traverse adjustments, circular and spiral curves. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to solve complex surveying problems using coordinate geometry.
