1. Introduction to Surveying

Surveying is the technique and science of accurately measuring and determining the three dimensional positions of points and the distances and angles between them'

These measurements are then used to produce maps, layouts for construction and development.

Surveying also refers to the process of measuring and mapping the environment using mathematical, engineering, and scientific methods.

It helps determine land boundaries, plan construction projects and create maps.

Surveying is a vital in fields like civil engineering, architecture and real estate.

It involves tools such as levels, theodolites and GPS to collect accurate data on distances, angles and elevations.
