Antara subjek yang menarik minat ketika T3 adalah aturcara komputer. Subjek diajar oleh pengajar dari Jabatan Sains Komputer. Beliau lulusan dari sebuah universiti US dan memegang jawatan Ketua Jabatan Sains Komputer. Cara pengajarann beliau amat seronok - sentiasa ketawa dan percakapannya juga sopan. Penyampaiannya jelas, bersungguh dan sangat membantu. Maka dengan corak pengajaran yang  sangat berkesan maka gred yang berjaya dicapai pun sangat bagus.

Subjek pengaturcaraan komputer ini sangat bermanfaat. Banyak pemakaiannya yang sangat membantu terutama dalam bidang ukur kerana banyak melibat kerja hitungan.

Kelas T3 pada setiap tahun akan mengumpulkan pelajar dari berbagai kelompok. Paling ramai adalah mereka yang naik dari T2. Rata-rata mereka berusia tiga tahun lebih junior (lahir pada 1961). Kumpulan kedua  adalah mereka yang sudah bekerja dua tahun (atau alumni Dip pada 1979). Antaranya adalah IT, SM, dan RW. Kumpulan lain adalah mereka yang lebih senior sudah lebih dua tahun bekerja (NAA ex-felda, IS, Ali bin Ahmad dan AR ex-topo dan mengulang T3). Ada juga kelompok TA yang bekerja setahun (SS dan RG). Dua pelajar turut mendaftar adalah staf Uitm (AM dan ZI).

Secord BSc Fredericton Approach (1981)

The analysis of deformation at UNB SE Dept began with a method known as the Fredericton Approach. The pioneer implementation of the FA was described by James Secord in his BSc thesis submitted to the SE Dept. The work was completed in 1981.

Pada bulan Julai kembali menjadi pelajar. Mendaftar untuk menyambung pengajian sut bersama rakan serumah Tapah. Turut sama beberapa teman lama sewaktu pengajian dut. Perkara yang tentunya paling dirasai adalah tiada lagi gaji bulanan pada setiap hujung bulan. Maka hidup perlu berjimat dengan apa yang ada.

Principles of Surveying - Clendinning (1978)

Two early books on Surveying published in 1978. Actually the book was published much earlier in 1950 (first issued) and 1960 (second edition) and re-print in 1978.

Books by Olliver & Clendenning

James Clendinning (b.1888 / d.1966) at the age of 77. He obtained BSc in Engineering from London in 1909/10. Read his obituary here.

Joseph G Olliver served at Oxford University for thirty years as Lecturer (read here and RG).

Recent developments in GBVP (Helmut Moritz 1977)

Dr Helmut Moritz has been at OSU regularly as a visiting researcher. He worked there hosted by Urho Votila and other OSU's geodesist. In 1977 Moritz wrote a report entitled "Recent developments in the GBVP".

The report reviews progress in the mathematical formulation and treatment of the goedetic boundary-value problem, in particular, the existence and uniqueness theorems of Lars Hormander and the gravity space approach due to Sanso. The method of Hormander uses a very advanced inverse function theorem of nonlinear functional analysis. Sanso has transformed Molodensky’s free boundary-value problem into a fixed boundary-value problem in “gravity space”, thereby essentially reducing the mathematical complexity. As a linear approximation, the gravity space approach gives identical superior for treating questions of existence and uniqueness of the solution, although it is restricted to the pure gravitational case without centrifugal force.

In the introduction Moritz wrote;

The last five years have brought considerable advances in the theory of the boundary-value problem of physical geodesy in the formulation of Molodensky, which is the determination of the physical Earth’s surface from gravity. These advances have been accomplished mainly through the work of Krarup, Hörmander and Sanso. The present report is devoted to a review of this work.

FIG Stockholm 1977

The surveying degree program at UTM started in 1975. In 1977 FIG held its congress in Stockholm Sweden. The proceeding of this congress is available from UTM library. So this FIG Congress is the first held after Surveying degree program established in UTM.
