GEOGRAPHY AND THE PROPERTIES OF SURFACES. SPACE STRAIGHTENING AND FLATTENING.

Abstract

The paper proposes a solution leading to an approximation, by trial and error, of the problem of straightening and flattening (one to one correspondence with points of an euclidean plane, distances and areas remaining constant) of a non-developable surface. (Author)
