Short History on Map Projections
Map projections have been developed in parallel with the development of map production and cartography in general. The development of many sciences, technical achievements and the needs of everyday life have gradually initiated wider and wider demands for the production of various topographic and thematic maps in various scales and for various purposes, which required continuous growth of map projections and improvement of mathematical basis of maps. The beginnings of map projections date as far as two thousand years ago, originating from the time when the old Greek scientists introduced mathematical principles into the basis of projecting the Earth and starry sky and started to apply the graticule. The works of Anaximander, Eratosthenes, Apolonious and Hipparchus played an important role in the development of cartography.
