GPS - Theory, Algorithms and Applications (2nd Edition)
Guochang Xu, Dr.-Ing.
This reference and handbook describes theory, algorithms and applications of the Global Positioning System (GPS/Galileo). It is primarily based on source-code descriptions of the KSGsoft program developed by the author at the GFZ in Potsdam. The theory and algorithms are extended and verified for a new development of a multiple functional GPS/Galileo software. Besides the concepts such as the unified GPS data processing method and the numerical solution of the variation equations, as well as the general ambiguity search criteria reported in the first edition, there are several highlights reported. Such as the equivalent principle and its applications, the theory of independent parameterisation, the diagonalisation algorithm, etc. Mathematically rigorous, the book begins with the basics of coordinate and time systems and satellite orbits, as well as GPS observable, and deals with topics such as physical influences, observation equations and their parameterisation, adjustment and filtering, ambiguity resolution, data processing, and the determination of perturbed orbits.

A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading.
It’s not just the books under fire now that worry me. It is the books that will never be written. The books that will never be read.
Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.
When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.
It is a good rule after reading a new book, never to allow yourself another new one till you have read an old one in between.
Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.
I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
