Does anyone have a recommendation for a surveying text book for college students??ÿ The surveying curriculum at this college is more field oriented.?ÿ

Wolf & Ghilani Elementary Surveying is one of the standards. There are many editions and if this is supplemental (not needing to match section numbers, problem sets, etc. with others in a class) you can save $ by getting a slightly out of date one as the core material changes slowly.

If you plan to get into cadastral work, you also eventually need to find a book from the 1970's or before to appreciate how the work you may be retracing was done.

I agree that Elementary Surveying, by Charles Ghilani (Professor Wolf passed away some time back and is no longer listed as an author) is the go-to.?ÿ
