GPS for agriculture. A GPS receiver is mounted on a tractor and driven in parallel tracks over a crop field. The system determines the horizontal position and the altitude of the tractor every second. These position data are processed and analysed to produce a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for the field. This DEM forms one layer of a Geographical Information System (GIS) to aid the farmer's decision-making process regarding optimal use of the field. (Photo: Dave Wells, 15 December 1995)

The Old Math Building housed some of the department's graduate students and faculty for a couple of decades. In August 1987, it was torn down to make way for Gillin Hall, the most recent extension to the engineering building. The day before its demise, some Math Building alumni/ae celebrated its history with a little champagne.

Guess who and when. The best guess concerning this photograph has been supplied by Debbie (Balcom) Jordan (one of the department's former photogrammetric technicians). She is pretty sure that this is J. Mitra (who eventually graduated with a degree in computer science) sitting in front of the department's AP2C plotter in the photogrammetry lab located in Head Hall E-14, either in 1968 or 1969. To the left is the teletype machine for punching paper tapes to feed into the AP2C computer. The plotting table is to the right. Debbie also thought that J. Mitra was the Royal Bank employee who implemented the first banking machines for that bank. Can anyone improve on this?
