A map projection in which areas on a sphere, and the areas of any features contained on it, are mapped to the plane in such a way that two are related by a constant scaling ...

A class of map projections in which the parallels are represented by a system of non-concentric circular arcs with centers lying on the straight line representing the central ...

The study of map projections and the making of geographical maps.

Lee (1944) defines an authalic map projection to be one in which at any point the scales in two orthogonal directions are inversely proportional.

An azimuthal projection which is neither equal-area nor conformal. Let phi_1 and lambda_0 be the latitude and longitude of the center of the projection, then the ...

A map projection in which the distances between one or two points and every other point on the map differ from the corresponding distances on the sphere by only a constant ...

A map projection in which the parallels are represented by concentric circular arcs and the meridians by concurrent curves.

A pseudocylindrical map projection which distorts shape, area, scale, and distance to create attractive average projection properties.

The Gall orthographic projection is a cylindrical equal-area projection with standard parallel of 45 degrees.

Several cylindrical equidistant projections were devised by R. Miller. Miller's projections have standard parallels of phi_1=37 degrees30^' (giving minimal overall scale ...
