刍议假说对测绘科学的贡献

Preliminary Discussion on Contribution of Hypothesis to Surveying Science

天文、物理、生物、数学、化学等各个学科都有不少论文论述假说对其学科发展的贡献，测绘科学方面与此有关的论文不多见。文中以地扁说，地壳均衡学说，最小二乘法为例尝试论述假说对测绘科学的影响、意义。

In many disciplines such as astronomy, physics, biology, mathematics and chemistry etc. there are different papers discussing the contribution of hypothesis to their disciplinary development, but few such papers appear in respect of surveying science. This paper attempts to illus-rate the influence and significance of hypothesis to surveying science with examples of oblate Earth Theory, Isostasy Theo-y and Least -square Method.
