The conformal projections used most in mapping and in geodetic computational work of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey are the Lambert conic, the stereographic, the Mercator, the transverse Mercator, and oblique Mercator. The purpose of this basic textbook is to bring together in one volume and to give in detail the mathematical development of the formulas (or source references) for these projections in their various forms for the convenience of the geodetic computers and cartographers of the Coast and Geodetic Survey. It supersedes Special Publication No. 53, since it incorporates the essential material contained therein. The format, differing somewhat from that of previous Coast Survey publications on projections, has been designed for the convenience of the computer or engineer. All the formulas for the projections are listed first. The mathematical developments or references to their source have been placed last for the convenience of those who would like to check the derivations of the formulas.
