| Re: GIS IIT Madras
The IIT Madras is provides its notes for Geographical Information System. Geographic Information Systems have become a tool with widespread use in developmental applications. The power of a GIS can have a positive influence in community based planning and scientific decision making for developmental activities. The life-cycle cost of commercial GIS packages and the ever changing hardware requirements to support these packages make the economics of implementation difficult. Until recently open-source GIS packages did not have the capabilities and user friendliness of commercial packages. Get Geographical Information System notes from IIT Madras:  Principle of GPS: The principle of GPS is to determine the position based on the signals from GPS satellites. GPS receivers determine position, velocity, and time from signals transmitted by the satellites. Signals from 4 satellites are needed to determine x,y,z (position) and time While most clocks are synchronized to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), the Atomic clocks on the satellites are set to GPS time Disciplines: Aerospace Engineering Agriculture Architecture Atmospheric Science Automobile Engineering Basic courses(Sem 1 and 2) Biotechnology Chemical Engineering Chemistry and Biochemistry Civil Engineering Computer Science and Engineering Electrical Engineering Electronics & Communication Engineering Engineering Design Environmental Science General Humanities and Social Sciences Management Mathematics Mechanical Engineering Metallurgy and Material Science Mining Engineering Multidisciplinary Nanotechnology Ocean Engineering Physics Textile Engineering Address: NPTEL Administrator, 2nd floor, Central Library IIT Madras Chennai - 600036 Tel : (044) 2257 5905 ; (044) 2257 5908 |
