4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent source book, numerious errors in the equations.
The only self contaned reference that I've come across which applies classical differential geometry to the map projection problem. However I found the equations in the book to be unreliable. I would be interested in second (corrected) edition.

3.0 out of 5 stars A perspective of a person from the mathematical community.
I read most of this book. It is a self-contained and a reader-friendly book. It gives a lot of intuition and understanding. However, I must admit-for the sake of objectivity-that some computations lack mathematical rigour and some computations are incorrect. I hope that the author reads my comment...
