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.
