Learning outcomes: • application of knowledge of the mathematical laws of Earth surface image on the plane for development and selection of cartographical projection for specific map with consideration of its purpose, scale, shape, size of investigated territory; • knowledge application of mathematical cartography for projections investigation, determination of the distortion character and its values in the different places of the map; • the ability to use of mapping methods for development of general geographic and thematic maps; • to use skills of methods of design and styling cards.
Required prior and related subjects: Higher geodesy Geodesy and topography
