Teorija pogrešaka s računom izjednačenja

The work "Theory of Errors with Adjustment Computation" (Teorija pogrešaka s računom izjednačenja), authored by the renowned Croatian geodesist and professor Dr. Nikola Čubranić and published in 1967 by Školska knjiga (Tehnička knjiga), stands as one of the most significant contributions to geodetic and technical literature in this region. The textbook is designed as essential, comprehensive reading for geodesy students, while also serving as an invaluable handbook for practicing engineers engaged in precise measurements and data processing. In the book, the author systematically and methodically presents the mathematical foundations of probability theory and mathematical statistics as applied to geodetic measurements. The core of the work covers the analysis of random, systematic, and gross errors, along with a detailed exposition of the method of least squares—the fundamental tool for the adjustment of indirect and indirectly-conditional measurements. Each chapter is supported by practical numerical examples and mathematical derivations. This 1967 edition has left a profound mark on the education of numerous generations of professionals. Due to its exceptional pedagogical clarity, rigorous scientific approach, and enduring methodological value, Čubranić’s work remains an indispensable classic of domestic geodetic science to this day.
