Contents:

Introduction -- Coordinate systems -- Vector data model -- Raster data model -- GIS data acquisition -- geometric transformation -- Spatial data accuracy and quality -- Attribute data management -- Data display and cartography -- Data exploration -- Vector data analysis -- Raster data analysis -- Terrain mapping and analysis -- Viewshed and watershed analysis -- Spatial interpolation -- Geocoding and dynamic segmentation -- Least-cost path analysis and network analysis -- GIS models and modelling.

Summary: Introduction toGeographic Information Systems, 9th edition is designed to provide students in a first orsecond GIS course with a solid foundation in both GIS concepts and the use ofGIS. Introduction to GIS strikes a careful balance between GIS concepts andhands-on applications. The main portion of the chapter presents GIS terms andconcepts and helps students learn how each one fits into a complete GIS system.At the end of each chapter, an application section with 2-7 tasks presentsstudents with actual GIS exercises and the necessary data to solve the problem.
