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:
“The developments in the North were those loosely embraced in the term modernization and included urbanization, industrialization, and mechanization. While those changes went forward apace, the antebellum South changed comparatively little, clinging to its rural, agricultural, labor-intensive economy and its traditional folk culture.”
—C. Vann Woodward (b. 1908)
“The closer a man approaches tragedy the more intense is his concentration of emotion upon the fixed point of his commitment, which is to say the closer he approaches what in life we call fanaticism.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
