Map Projections Minimizing Distance Errors
Maps convey important information about distances between pairs of points. It is therefore desirable to minimize the errors made in representing distances between pairs of points on maps. Since it is just as bad to have two points on the map at twice their proper separation as to have them at half their proper separation, it is the root-mean-square (rms) logarithmic distance between random points in the mapped region that we will minimize. The be…
