Traditional Approaches
Locating has a long tradition in geodesy since C.F. Gauss's work in 1821–1825. The concepts of triangulation and multilateration have been well elaborated since then. More modern approaches take the matrix calculus into account. The basic concept of Gauss applied the concept of over-determination for systems of quadratic equations, thus leading to the generalized approach of least squares.

Famous quotes containing the words traditional and/or approaches:
“If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“A politician is a statesman who approaches every question with an open mouth.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
