Post by Catastrophe »

Please give me the forward and inverse formulas for the sphere and the ellipsoid (if any) of map projections presented by Max Eckert-Greifendorff. These include:
  • Eckert I
  • Eckert II
  • Eckert III
  • Eckert IV
  • Eckert V
  • Eckert VI
  • Eckert-Greifendorff

You can find forward definitions in Snyder’s An Album of Map Projections. Album does not supply inverses. Eckert’s original monograph might, though I do not have a copy of it. In any case, the inverses are simple to derive from the forward formulæ.

Best,
