He also covers the methods of measuring distances, angles, and elevations, as well as the principles of triangulation and traverse. The section concludes with a discussion of the mathematical calculations involved in surveying, including the use of logarithms and trigonometry.The second part of the book deals with the processing and analysis of survey data. Davis explains how to plot and draw survey maps, as well as how to calculate areas and volumes. He also covers topics such as the adjustment of survey measurements, the use of contour lines, and the preparation of legal descriptions.Overall, the Manual of Surveying for Field and Office is an essential resource for anyone involved in land surveying, from beginners to experienced professionals.
