Description for Cartographic Science
hardcover. Explains the science of cartography. This book presents a compilation of more than a hundred map projections ranging from classic conics to contemporary transformations using complex variables. It examines the shape and size of the Earth, investigates the means for relating the curved surface to a flat surface, and addresses scaling. Num Pages: 504 pages, 167 black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: RGV. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 255 x 187 x 32. Weight in Grams: 1086.
Geographic books routinely introduce map projections without providing mathematical explanations of projections and few delve into complex mathematical development or cover the breadth of projections. From basic projecting to advanced transformations, Cartographic Science: A Compendium of Map Projections, with Derivations is a comprehensive reference that offers an explanation of the science of cartography. The book is a compilation of more than a hundred map projections, from classic conics to contemporary transformations using complex variables. Starting from widely described geometric projecting onto flat paper, cylinder, and cone and then progressing through several layers of mathematics to reach modern projections, the ... Read more
