Geodesy is the study of the size and shape of the Earth's surface and the creation of theoretical mathematical models of the surface that best fits the physical data.
Definitions relating to geodesy, explanations of coordinate systems, and geodesy formulas. Reference ellipsoid defined with derived geometrical constants, equation of the meridional ellipse, and geometry of the meridian section. www.jqjacobs.net/astro/geodesy.html
Software application that does datum transformations. Converts individual positions between over 400 datums to or from user specified TM and UTM grids. www.datumpro.linden-software.com
