Tracking Methods: Science, Technology, and Applications provides a clear and structured introduction to the principles and technologies used to determine position and movement in the modern world. The book begins by establishing a foundational understanding of tracking as a discipline, exploring what "position" means and how it is interpreted in scientific and practical contexts. It then introduces the mathematical concepts that support accurate position estimation, including coordinate systems, distance calculations, and error analysis. Building on this foundation, the book explores the core technologies that enable tracking, such as sensors, satellite-based navigation systems (GNSS), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), and cellular network positioning. Each chapter focuses on both theoretical understanding and real-world applications, helping readers connect concepts to practical use cases. Written in a simple and accessible style, this book is ideal for students, beginners, and professionals seeking a quick yet meaningful understanding of tracking systems. It serves as both a learning guide and a reference for anyone interested in how modern positioning technologies work.
