The critical algorithms used in GIS are notoriously difficult to both teach and understand. This book address the problem by combining rigorous formal language with example case studies and student exercises.
Geographic information systems (GIS) have become increasingly important in helping us understand complex social, economic, and natural dynamics where spatial components play a key role. The critical algorithms used in GIS, however, are notoriously difficult to both teach and understand, in part due to the lack of a coherent representation. GIS Algorithms attempts to address this problem by combining rigorous formal language with example case studies and student exercises.
Using Python code throughout, Xiao breaks the subject down into three fundamental areas:
Geometric Algorithms
Spatial Indexing
Spatial Analysis and Modelling
With its comprehensive coverage of the many algorithms involved, GIS Algorithms is a key new textbook in this complex and critical area of geography.
