Surveying is the technique and science of accurately determining the terrestrial or three-dimensional space position of points and the distances and angles between them. These points are usually, but not exclusively, associated with positions on the surface of the Earth, and are often used to establish land maps and boundaries for ownership or governmental purposes. In order to accomplish their objective, surveyors use elements of geometry (Greek: measuring the Earth), engineering, mathematics, physics, and law.

The American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM) defines surveying as "the science and art of making all essential measurements to determine the relative position of points and/or physical and cultural details above, on, or beneath the surface of the Earth, and to depict them in a usable form, or to establish the position of points and/or details".
The profession of land surveying has been around as long as the idea of territorial ownership. Land surveyors were employed by pharaohs, emperors, kings, conquerors to determine boundaries for land use, taxation, land grants, and so on.
