[UW-GIS-L] RE: Uw-gis-l Digest, Vol 99, Issue 21

[John Bowler]

John P. Snyder's "Map Projections: A Working Manual" mentioned below by
Nick Beer, is available on-line at
http://pubs.er.usgs.gov/djvu/PP/PP_1395.pdf but be aware it's about 400
pages. As far as I can tell, it still considered the standard in the
field.

If you have the stomach for it, be sure to put this on your bookshelf...

Snyder, John P. 1987. Map Projections- A Working Manual: U.S.G.S. 
Professional Paper 1395. US Government Printing Office.
Washington , D.C.

It is certainly an important work. It may still stand as definitive.
Anyway, the mathematics are detailed and many examples are worked. UW
Libraries may have multiple copies. Enjoy.
