[[File:Cassini projection SW.jpg|thumb|Cassini projection of the world]]
This is a preview for the new '''MathML rendering mode''' (with SVG fallback), which is availble in production for registered users.
[[File:Cassini projection squashed SW.JPG|thumb|Cassini projection of the world modeled as a highly oblated ellipsoid with flattening 1:2 (= eccentricy √3/2)]]
The '''Cassini projection''' is a [[map projection]] described by [[César-François Cassini de Thury]] in 1745.<ref>''Flattening the Earth: Two Thousand Years of Map Projections'', John P. Snyder, 1993, pp. 74–76, ISBN 0-226-76747-7.</ref> It is the [[transverse aspect]] of the [[equirectangular projection]], in that the globe is first rotated so the central meridian becomes the "equator", and then the normal equirectangular projection is applied. Considering the earth as a sphere, the projection is composed of these operations:


:<math>x = \arcsin(\cos(\phi)\sin(\lambda))\,</math>

:<math>y = \arctan\left(\frac{\tan(\phi)}{\cos(\lambda)}\right)</math>
Registered users will be able to choose between the following three rendering modes:  


where <math>\lambda</math> is the longitude from the central meridian and <math>\phi</math> is the latitude. When programming these equations, the [[inverse tangent]] function used is actually the [[atan2]] function, with the first argument <math>\sin(\phi)</math> and the second <math>\cos(\phi)\cos(\lambda)</math>.

In practice, the projection has always been applied to models of the earth as an [[Reference ellipsoid|ellipsoid]], which greatly complicates the mathematical development but is suitable for surveying. Nevertheless the use of the Cassini projection has largely been superseded by the [[Transverse Mercator]] projection, at least with central mapping agencies.

==Distortions==
'''source'''
Areas along the central meridian, and at right angles to it, are not distorted. Elsewhere, the distortion is largely in a north-south direction, and varies by the square of the distance from the central meridian. As such, the greater the longitudinal extent of the area, the worse the distortion becomes.

Due to this, the Cassini projection works best on long, narrow areas, and worst on wide areas.

This is a preview for the new MathML rendering mode (with SVG fallback), which is availble in production for registered users.

If you would like use the MathML rendering mode, you need a wikipedia user account that can be registered here [[1]]

  • Only registered users will be able to execute this rendering mode.
  • Note: you need not enter a email address (nor any other private information). Please do not use a password that you use elsewhere.

Registered users will be able to choose between the following three rendering modes:

MathML


Follow this link to change your Math rendering settings. You can also add a Custom CSS to force the MathML/SVG rendering or select different font families. See these examples.
