"The presenter was very energetic andtruly passionate about the material"

" Tom Logsdon is the best teacher I haveever had. His knowledge is excellent. Heis a 10!"

"The instructor displayed awesomeknowledge of the GPS and space technol-ogy…very knowledgeable instructor.Spoke clearly…Good teaching style.Encouraged questions and discussion."

"Mr. Logsdon did a bang-up jobexplaining and deriving the theories ofspecial/general relativity–and how theyare associated with the GPS navigationsolutions."

"I loved this one-page mathematical der-ivations and the important points theyillustrate."

"Instructor was very knowledgeable andrelated to his students very well–andwith sparkling good humor!"

"The lecture was truly an expert in hisfield and delivered an entertaining andtechnically well-balanced presentation."

"Excellent instructor! Wonderful teach-ing skills! This was honestly, the bestclass I have had since leaving the univer-sity."

SummaryIn this popular 4-day short course, GPS

expert Tom Logsdon will describe in detailhow precise radionavigation systems workand review the many practical benefitsthey provide to military and civilian usersin space and around the globe.

Through practical demonstration you willlearn how a GPS receiver works, how to operate it invarious situations, and how to interpret the positioningsolutions it provides.

Each topic includes practical derivations and real-world examples using published inputs from theliterature and from the instructors personal andprofessional experiences.

Each studentwill receive a free GPSNavigator!
