Abstract
A potential answer to modern challenges faced by geodesists and geoinformatics (see, e.g., Sect. 1-3), lies in the application of algebraic computational techniques. The present book provides an in-depth look at algebraic computational methods and combines them with special local and global numerical methods like the Extended Newton-Raphson and the Homotopy continuation method to provide smooth and efficient solutions to real life-size problems often encountered in geodesy and geoinformatics, but which cannot be adequately solved by algebraic methods alone.
