GIT 501 - Spatial Mathematical Methods

Course Objectives

• Emphasizing the importance of mathematical representation in order to explain space
dimensions and relations of spatial objects.
• Defining mathematical methods for managing spatial objects and basic geometrical
behaviours of entities.
• In this case, main GIS functions on computer environment are provided with
mathematical background
