Mathematical geodesy
This book is an attempt to free geodesy from its centuries-long bondage in two dimensions. This does not mean that any geodesits, from Eratosthenes to modern contenders for the title, has ever considered the earth to be flat; the two dimensions, such as latitude and longitude, have always been non-Euclidian and have been taken as coordinates on a curved reference surface. It has been usual, nevertheless, to project points from the topographic surface of the earth to the reference surface and thereafter to work entirely between points on the reference surface.
