application of mathematics and the use of specialized instruments. The term \u201cEarth surface\u201d refers to everything on Earth that can be explored: the bottom of the seas, bays, lakes and rivers; the interior of caves and mines; mountains and deserts; and even the frozen and desolated polar regions. Surveying includes the measurement of angles and distances, the establishment of horizontal and vertical control points, plan confection, cadastral measurements, highway tracing and building locations, submarine topography and oceanic depths, plus the location of legal boundaries.<\/p><p>The BS in Land Surveying and Mapping\u00a0program is accredited by the Applied and Natural Science
