Abstract

The paper highlights arguments that, coming from Mathematics, have fostered the advancement of Geodesy, as well as those that, generated by geodetic problems, have contributed to the enhancement of different branches in Mathematics. Furthermore, not only examples of success are examined, but also open questions that can constitute stimulating challenges for geodesists and mathematicians.
