Continuation of Box.
The final step consists of substituting (20.120) and (20.121) into (20.115), and summing up (20.115)
and (20.114). The finally resulting representation for the ellipsoidal coordinates {L, B} of point P , given
the Soldner coordinates {x, y} with respect to the point P 0 (L 0 , B 0 ), is of the form (20.73)–(20.75) with

As an alternative, the numerical computation of {L, B, γ} is done using the two-step-method combined
with a numerical integration of (20.69) and (20.71), for example, by classical Runge–Kutta techniques.
First integrate (20.69) and (20.71) numerically with initial values (20.123) in order to obtain (20.124),
then integrate (20.69) and (20.71) a second time with initial values (20.125) with the result for (20.126):
{L 0 = L P 0 , B 0 = B P 0 , s = x c = y, α 0 = α 0F = π/2} ,
