This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Introductory Surveying (Schaum's) (Paperback)
If you are looking for reference materials to take the California Engineering Surveying Exam as part of the Civil Engineer's PE exam, this is not the book you want. It doesn't cover the general concepts that an engineer is looking for. Seems to directed more at a person working on a surveying crew instead.

A useful text for beginning surveying students. It does not, unfortunately cover modern equipment or methods.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Introductory Surveying (Schaum's) (Paperback)
This book was required for a surveying class. It goes over basic techniques without any derivations. The material is dated, but still valid. Doesn't have anything about modern surveying equipment and techniques (GPS, total stations,...etc). Still if you need the basics it's ok.
