GIS Algorithms (SAGE Advances in Geographic Information

GIS Algorithms (SAGE Advances in Geographic Information Science and Technology Series)
Geographic information systems (GIS) have become increasingly important in helping us understand complexÂ social, economic, and natural dynamics where spatial components play a key role.Â TheÂ critical algorithms used in GIS, however, areÂ notoriously difficult to both teach and understand, in part due to the lack of a coherent representation.Â GIS Algorithms attempts to address this problem byÂ combining rigorous formal language withÂ example case studies and student exercises.

Using Python code throughout, Xiao breaks the subject down into three fundamental areas:
- Geometric Algorithms
- Spatial Indexing
- Spatial Analysis and Modelling
With its comprehensive coverage of the many algorithms involved,Â GIS Algorithms is a key new textbook inÂ this complex and critical area of geography.
