The gnomonic (central) projection for a sphere is well known ([2] page 596). It has the characteristic that great circles project into straight lines, so that the shortest distance on the sphere projects into the shortest distance on the projection p

The inverse problem for all possible geodesics on the spheroid is solved in ways that are selected by the programme in a manner appropriate to any two given end positions. The comparatively simple total inverse solution for the great elliptic is also

Using compasses and two marked straight edges a construction can be made for the cube root of two, which effectively produces the side of a cube having twice the volume of a given cube. It is also shown how to construct the cube root of a random quan

An orthomorphic projection for the whole spheroid is produced using complex parametric latitude, and scale factors for Transverse Mercator type projections are examined. The unreal isocurve is defined and found to have an interesting sale factor rela

A formula is derived from the spherical Transverse Mercator equation suitable for the combined projection of the world coastline within a finite area using two different central meridians.

Complete equations (showing general terms) are derived for the spherical isocurve, and the differences for the spheroidal isocurve indicated. The suitability of various equations for different latitude zones is examined.

Existing triaxial number theory is extended to the multiplication of two triaxial numbers as for classical vectors. Differential forms of triaxial numbers, products and transformations are examined. A proposal is made for the practical application of

Forward and reverse coordinate transformations for the Transverse Mercator projection of the spheroid are made using complex number theory. A single closed equation for both scale factor and grid convergence is also given.
