Friedrich Robert Helmert (* July 31 1843 in Freiberg (additional info and facts about Freiberg), Saxonia; † June 15 1917 in Potsdam (additional info and facts about Potsdam)) was a celebrated German geodesist (additional info and facts about geodesist) and an important writer on the theory of errors.
In 1870 Helmert became instructor and in 1872 professor at RWTH Aachen (additional info and facts about RWTH Aachen), the new Technical University in Aachen.
From 1887 Helmert was professor of advanced geodesy at the University of Berlin (additional info and facts about University of Berlin) and director of the Geodetic Institute.

 Friedrich Robert Helmert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After schooling in Freiberg and Dresden Helmert entered the Polytechnische Schule in Dresden to study engineering science in 1859.
In 1863 Helmert became Nagel's assistant on the measurement of degrees.
After a year's study of mathematics and astronomy Helmert obtained his doctor's degree from the University of Leipzig in 1867 for a thesis based on his work for Nagel.

 Geodesy - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Geodesy is primarily concerned with positioning and the gravity field and geometrical aspects of their temporal variations, although it can also include the study of the Earth's magnetic field.
As Torge also remarks, the shape of the earth is to a large extent the result of its gravity field.
Point positioning is the determination of the coordinates of a point on land, at sea, or in space with respect to a coordinate system.

Some would also include the study of the Earth's magnetic field.
Wolfgang Torge quotes in his 2001 textbook Geodesy (3rd edition) Friedrich Robert Helmert as defining geodesy as "the science of the measurement and mapping of the earth's surface."
As Torge also remarks, the shape of the earth is to a large extent shaped by its gravity field.

With this, and with Helmert's death in 1917, ended a fruitful period of international cooperation, although several neutral states continued some of the programmes, and the Prussian Geodetic Institute continued to function as the Central Bureau.
From a synthetic evaluation of the influences of continental land-masses, Helmert concluded that the values of geoidal undulations were likely to lie within a range of 400 m; but by taking into account plausible isostatic compensation, the actual geoidal variation was likely to be within ± 27 m.
The following phase of the "Internationale Erdmessung" (1886-1916) was essentially determined by Friedrich Robert Helmert in his role as Director of both the Prussian Geodetic Institute and of the IAG Central Bureau.

April 24-28, 1978, pages 319-326.
The HWB solution is really fast to compute but it is optimal only if observational errors do not correlate between the data blocks.

Wolfgang Torge quotes in his 2001 textbook Geodesy (3rd edition) Friedrich Robert Helmert as defining geodesy as "''the science of the measurement and mapping of the earth's surface''." As Torge also remarks, the shape of the earth is to a large extent the result of its gravity field.
This applies to the solid surface (orogeny; few mountains are higher than 10 km, few deep sea trenches deeper than that).
Thus we have vertical datums like the NAP (Normaal Amsterdams Peil), the North American Vertical Datum 1988 (NAVD88), the Kronstadt datum, the Trieste datum, etc. In case of plane or spatial coordinates, we typically need several datum points.

The method of least squares is due to Adrien-Marie Legendre (1805), who introduced it in his Nouvelles méthodes pour la détermination des orbites des comètes.
Further proofs were given by Laplace (1810, 1812), Gauss (1823), James Ivory (1825, 1826), Hagen (1837), Friedrich Bessel (1838), Donkin (1844, 1856), and Morgan Crofton (1870).
In the nineteenth century authors on the general theory included Laplace, Sylvestre Lacroix (1816), Littrow (1833), Adolphe Quetelet (1853), Richard Dedekind (1860), Helmert (1872), Hermann Laurent (1873), Liagre, Didion, and Karl Pearson.

Helmert referred in particular to page 173 of Peirce's introduction.
The Paris measurements listed by Helmert are 3860, 3860, 3860, 3859, 3899, and 3950 respectively, of which the last measurement is Peirce's (211).
Helmert seems to have been unaware of Peirce's discussion of Förster's paper in a later addition to his "On the Value of Gravity at Paris" (published in 1881), and where Peirce gave a new measure of 3917.5 (W4:150-51).
