Applied Mathematics in Integrated Navigation Systems (AIAA Education Series);

Intended for those directly involved with the design, integration, and test and evaluation of navigation systems, this text/CD-ROM presents elements of basic mathematics, kinematics, equations describing navigation systems and their error models, and Kalman filtering. Detailed derivations are presented and examples and problems are given. Later chapters provide detailed applications and exercises. This second edition includes software and additional background material, exercises, and applications. Background in calculus is assumed.
