600 G Generalized Mollweide projection
Aside.
With our students of Stuttgart University has been the vote that the Mollweide projection
was in the list of the two most popular map projections.
Note that the original contribution mapping the sphere is due to C. B. Mollweide (1805). Here, we use
the works of E. Grafarend and J. Engels (1992), E. Grafarend and A. Heidenreich (1995), J. P. Snyder
(1977, 1979) for mapping the ellipsoid-of-revolution. The numerical treatment is based upon the work
of W. Toernig (1979).
