public class TransverseMercator : Projection 

Remarks

Since the Mercator projection has little error close to the Equator, it has been found very useful in the transverse form, with the equator of the projection rotated 90 degrees to coincide with the desired central meridian.

The formulas are for the complete ellipsoid are practical only within a band between four degrees of longitude and some ten to fifteen degrees of arc distance on either side of the central meridian, because of the much more significant scale errors fundamental to any projection covering a larger area.

Little use has been made of the Transverse Mercator for single maps of continental areas.

This code has been verified against the numerical examples in "Map Projections - A Working Manual" by John P Snyder, United States Geological Survey Professional Paper 1395" for forward and reverse ellipsoid.
