Preface IX
We here would like to emphasize that our introduction into Map Projections is exclusively based
upon right handed coordinates. In this orientation, we particularly got support from my German colleagues J. Engels (Stuttgart), V. Schwarze (Backnang), and R. Syffus (Munich). We here would like to
note that the software manuscript was produced by V. Weberruß with expertise. To all our readers,
we appreciate their care for the Wonderful World of Map Projections. We dedicate our work to
J. P. Snyder (1926–1997), who worked for the US Geological Survey for a lifetime. We stay on the
strong shoulders of great scientists, for example, C. F. Gauss, J. L. Lagrange, B. Riemann, E. Fermi,
J. H. Lambert, and J. H. Soldner. May we remember their great works.
