<p>An equation derived for the vertical gravity field due to a body with polygonal cross section and finite strike length. The equations consists of the 2-dimensional equation of Talwani, Worzel, and Landisman (1959), with the addition of end corrections. Equations for the magnetic field due to a similar body were derived by Shuey and Pasquale (1973). They coined the term "2 1/2-dimensional" to describe the geometry.</p>
<p>If the geometry of the causative body or bodies is specified, the 2 1/2-dimensional equations can be combined with observation of the gravity and magnetic anomaly fields to make linear least squares solutions for density and susceptibility or remanent magnetization.</p>
<p>A computer program is presented which performs, for one or more bodies, along a profile perpendicular to strike, both forward calculations for the magnetic and gravity anomaly fields and independent gravity and magnetic inverse calculations for density and susceptibility or remanent magnetization.</p>
