6. These unbalanced definitions made sense from a computational standpoint in times past: conics and cylindricals are easily computed in the equatorial aspect and Azimuthals are simple in polar aspect

7. Apollonius was a Greek mathematician known as 'The Great Geometer'. His works had a very great influence on the development of mathematics and his famous book Conics introduced the terms parabola, ellipse and hyperbola

8. While vectors along the y-axis always point to north in a cylindrical projection in the normal aspect, they can point east or west of north on conics, Azimuthals, and other projections.This function computes the geographic azimuth for angles in the projected space.
