Concept explainers
Mercator map projection The Mercator map projection was proposed by the Flemish geographer Gerardus Mercator (1512–1594). The stretching factor of the Mercator map as a function of the latitude θ is given by the function
Graph G, for 0 ≤ θ < π/2. (See the Guided Project Mercator projections for a derivation of this integral.)
