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 the theoretical backround is recapitulated, exampels are handed out and discussed. 

You need a laptop for solving the exercise sheets and a calculator for the test (in the second exercise unit).

The lecture notes for the lecture "Introduction to Higher Geodesy" serve as a basis (available from TU Verlag probably at the beginning of March).

The course consits of the following parts, which must be completed:

• Completion of a short test (in the second exercise unit)
• Completion of exercise sheets
• Presentation on one of the exercises 

Attendance is compulsory. Unexcused absences will result in a lower 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. The lecture notes for the lecture "Introduction to Higher Geodesy" serve as a basis (available from TU Verlag probably at the beginning of March).

Exercise sheets can be downloaded via TUWEL.
