Can anybody here recommend a useful book on basic data structures and algorithms for GIS?
Though it is almost all theory with very little practical instructions, I have found 'Principles of Geographical Information Systems' by Peter Burrough and Rachel McDonnell <http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0198233655/sr=8-1/qid=1149922941/ref=pd_bbs_1/102-7394625-8352158?%5Fencoding=UTF8> to be a valuable reference when dealing with data structures and GIS algorithms. The above reference is mainly GIS and spatial statistics oriented.. there is not much detail about map projections, cartography or geodesy. I can't recall a single book or source of info that would be THE definitive reference for such topics. Check Amazon for anything by John Snyder... his work is highly technical but the best at thoroughly explaining the details of projections. -- Matt Perry [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.perrygeo.net _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking
