After successful completion of the course, students are able to solve exercises regarding astronomical coordinate systems, Earth gravity field, reference ellipsoid and satellite orbits. Examples are coordinate transformations or gravity reductions.

Examples following the contents of the lectures 'Introduction to Higher Geodesy I' and 'Introduction to Higher Geodesy II' will be discussed and solved. They form the mathematical basis of Astronomy and Higher Geodesy.

During the exercises exampels are solved together and the theoretical backround is recapitulated.

You need a calculator to solve the exercises.

Assessment via two written exams and attendance. You need at least 60% attendance to get a positive grade.

If you change your mind and do not plan to finish the exercise this semester, please unsubscribe within the deadline.

There are no lecture notes for this course. Exercise sheets will be handed out during the class.
