2. Systems of coordinates on sphere and rotational ellipsoid, spherical excess.
3. Reference ellipsoid, radius of curvature, normal sections, geodesic.
4. Direct problem and inverse problem on sphere and ellipsoid.
5. Gravity field of Earth, equipotential surfaces, plumb line, geoid
6. Gravimetric methods, gravimeters, gravity networks.
