Course objectives
Fundamentals of cartography and topography Differentiation of geodetic, topographic and cartographic activities. The consequences of the Earth's shape for its cartographic depicting and image. Formation of maps and means of cartographic expression. Modern cartographic means - digitalisation, geographical information systems and remote sensing of the Earth. Students sketch the mathematical foundations of cartographic works, translate and emloy appropriately selected cartographic display, describe the various methods of cartographic visualization, and create maps by cartographic principles.
