Croatia is on its way to joining the European Union, thus becoming part of the European information society. Improving the existing National Spatial Data Infrastructure in line with international standards such as INSPIRE is therefore a key factor for efficient management of spatial data and future economic development. Over recent years there have been various NSDI-linked initiatives and activities that will be presented in this lecture.

Since the geodetic control points are the base for all surveying tasks, the quality of these tasks will directly depend of the quality of geodetic control. The main two elements of geodetic network quality (accuracy) are its precision and reliability. There are different precision and reliability measures for the geodetic control, and each of them has its certain importance for particular applications.
Precision and reliability analysis of the geodetic control will be shown on the example of geodetic control establiched for the construction of Arena Zagreb, multi-purpose hall, initialy constructed for Handball World Championships held 2009., in Croatia. For the adjustement of the network, software Columbus 3.7 has been used. This software, as its output, shows all the precision and reliability measures described in this article.

In cartography, mobility was always related to cartographic media. Today, term "mobility" is mostly related to small handheld devices, which have both advantages and disadvantages. In this lecture, a review of their development in nearer and further future will be presented, together with selection and proposition of storage media for cartographic presentation, presuming that in future, presentations will show realistic models of the real world we wish to perceive.

Observing the long history of surveying and slightly shorter history of informatics, this presentation gives the overview of changes which are sometimes too fast both for society and the academic community. We are living in the world where technology evolves swiftly, leaving a lot of people, not only in developing countries, deprived from benefits.
Geodesy and geoinformatics are well established tools aided with recent advances in information and communication technologies, space and earth sciences. The future challenges include interaction of science and technology with the Earth and with the human society. The matters like nature preservation, privacy of an individual and other human rights are becoming more and more important as more and more spatial and attribute data are collected in real-time with great detail.

This short report is intended to introduce the singular value decomposition (SVD) of a general matrix and its general importance. We consider some applications of the SVD, such as approximating the given matrix of rank r with the closest matrix of lower rank. The SVD is a perfect tool for solving the least squares problem or for computing the pseudo-inverse of the given mxn matrix. We also mention some applications in Geodesy.

At the Faculty of Geodesy in Zagreb there are 11 math courses. 8 are taught at the undergraduate studies out of which 6 are compulsory, and 3 are taught at the graduation studies, all being elective. There are no math courses at the postgraduate doctoral studies.
Within the scope of IGSM I would like to present how the teaching in the course Differential geometry has been adjusted to the model of e-learning being the combination of face-to-face model of teaching with ICT supported teaching model, known as blended, mixed mode or hybrid model of teaching.
