Abstract
- Friedrich Eisenlohr presented a map projection in 1870 that is optimal for a conformal world map of the sphere interrupted along an entire meridian. The projection has received little attention in the literature despite its theoretical importance. This paper gives alternative formulations for the projection and its scale factors and develops an efficient inverse for the projection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
