Fundamentals of Survey Mathematics - Math I
Friday, January 10, 2025, 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
The target audience of this course is from the High School graduate, a few years removed from the formal learning environment but new to surveying, to the experienced survey crew member seeking to become licensed. The course will cover Basic Arithmetic, Basic Algebra and Basic Trigonometry The participant must understand the concepts expressed here, to successfully complete the Survey Math course.
In this course, the participant will review a variety of mathematical concepts. Starting with Basic Arithmetic, the course quickly moves through: Real Numbers, Exponents, Order of Operations, Prime Numbers, Common Factors, Fractions, Precents, and Radicals.
Starting with a review of Basic Algebra including Combining Terms, Solving Equations, Problem Solving and Using Formulas the course moves into Basic Geometry including the measurement, types and averaging of angles, degrees and decimals of degrees, circles and the drawing of geometric figures. Finally, the course will review the Basic Trigonometric functions: Functions and Reciprocal Functions of an angle, Cofunctions, Slope Angles and Triangles, and Rectangular Coordinates.
It is recommended that the participant bring notepaper, a protractor, a compass, scale, and a scientific calculator. It is suggested the participant use a non-programmed calculator (or refrain from using programs during the course) from the list of approved calculators on the NCEES website, https://ncees.org/exams/calculator/.

Survey Math - Advanced Calculations - Math II
Friday, January 12, 2024, 1:00 - 5:00 p.m.
This course is designed to build on the concepts introduced in the Fundamentals of Survey Mathematics course. The target audience is the individual actively pursuing or working in the survey field, already familiar with the concepts of measurement and leveling.
The course will cover the mathematic formulas needed to calculate: Accuracy and Precision, Errors and Probability, Significant Figures, Tachymetry, Taping Errors and Corrections (non-standard lengths, temperature corrections, and slope reductions), Unit conversions, Trigonometric leveling, Differential leveling (curvature & refraction), Level Circuit adjustment, Angles and their conversion between systems, Angle Measurement by repetition, simple Traverse closure and adjustment, Area Calculation, Horizontal Curves and Spirals, and Vertical Curves.
