DESCRIPTION:
This book reflects several aspects of the development of modern mathematical cartography, especially the theory and methods of map projection transformation. Among these, computer science and space science have had the greater influence upon the field of research and the formation of a working body of map projection, developing them in breadth and depth. With the advance of science and technology, there have been breakthroughs in the field of classical research and methods of map projection. Map projection transformation is an area of research in mathematical cartography newly developed over the last 25 years. The development of map projection transformation not only expands new areas of research on mathematical cartography, but it also further develops the applied area with the creation and application
Aaron Stafford said Excelent reference book. This book provides a very solid base for working through the processes of projection transformations. I have searched for months for a text that explains polynomial approximation in a way that I can understand, and was very pleased with the detail with which this topic was introduced. As a computer scientist without a robust mathmatical background, I was able to use this text as a very solid first step into the details of numerical tr
