Geodesy and cartography

Teaching of geodesy and cartography in the Baku State University is connected with the name of honorary scientist, Professor Mammad Aliyev Huseyn. In 1954, to teach these subjects on the guarantee of M. H. Aliyev in the State University invited R.H. Piriev. In 1958 he defended his PhD, and in 1969 doctoral dissertation. In 1972 he was awarded the title of Professor. 
The Department of geodesy and cartography was created in the Geography faculty in 1972 and Professor R.Kh. Piriyev was appointed as the chief of the that Department. He headed up the chair till the end of his life (1988).

Prof. R.Kh. Piriyevin has exceptional role in the development of cartography science and teaching human resources in this field in Azerbaijan. He began teaching specialists on cartography since 1974. Prof. R. Kh. Piriyev has brought up 10 candidates of sciences. 4 persons out of them are currently working in the Baku State University in the Department of geodesy and cartography as assistant professors. R.Kh. Piriyev is the author of 5 textbooks, monograph, 60 scientific articles and teaching aids and he is the first author of the cartography textbook (1964-1975) in Azerbaijani.

Rafiq Babayev Aliheyder leads the geodesy and cartography department from 1988. He graduated from the Moscow geodesy and cartography institute with cartography major in 1965. He defended his Ph.D. thesis on the same major in 1977. Under R.A. Babayev’s advice 2 candidates of sciences and 15 Master's students obtained their degrees.

R.A. Babayev is the author of 80 scientific articles, theses, programs and methodical instructions. Scientific works were dedicated to the theoretical problems of cartometry.

Since 2011, the Department of geodesy and cartography is headed by Professor, Doctor of Technical Sciences Gojamanov Magsad Huseyn oglu. He all of steps of higher education: Institute (1977-1982), Postgraduate course (1986-1989) and doctorate (2002-2005) passed in the Moscow State University of Geodesy and cartography. He is the only Azerbaijani honored with an academic degree of Doctor of Sciences in the field of geodesy and cartography. The scientific activity of M. G. Gojamanov related to the solution of scientific and practical problems in the field of higher geodesy, space and satellite geodesy, mathematical adjustment of geodetic measurements, creation of a modern geodetic networks using satellite technology, the creation of GIS and cadaster systems, remote sensing, aerospace research methods, the solution of scientific and practical problems of marine geodesy. He is the author of three textbooks for universities, a terminological dictionary consisting of 12,000 terms, numerous guidelines and training programs, 150 scientific articles.
