Applied Mathematics in Integrated Navigation Systems (Aiaa Education Series)

Based on a short continuing education course he gives, Florida-based engineer Rogers explains navigation systems that combine onboard navigation solutions such as position, velocity, and attitude, with independent navigation data to update or correct those solutions. He accomplishes the combination with Kalman filter algorithms. The text assumes a solid background in mathematics, including calculus, and is suitable for a graduate or senior undergraduate course in aerospace engineering and related disciplines for students who will be designing, integrating, testing, or evaluating navigation systems. The CiP data shows the ISBN as 1-56347-397-6. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
