To derive the projected Easting and Northing coordinates of a point with geographical coordinates (lat,lon):

E = Ef + r sin(theta)
N = Nf + rf - r cos(theta)
where
	mO = cos(latO)/(1 – e^2 sin^2(latO))^0.5 where latO is the latitude of natural origin
	tO = tan(pi/4 – latO/2)/[(1 – e sin(latO))/(1 + e sin(latO))]^e/2
	tf = tan(pi/4 – latF/2)/[(1 – e sin(latF))/(1 + e sin(latF))]^e/2
	t = tan(pi/4 – lat/2)/[(1 – e sin(lat))/(1 + e sin(lat))]^e/2
	n = sin(latO)
	F = mO/(n tO^n)
	rf = a F tf^n kO  
	r =  a F t^n kO 
	lonF = lonO
	theta = n(lon – lonO)
As with other conics, a negative n and r result for projections centered in the Southern Hemisphere.

The reverse formulas to derive the latitude and longitude of a point from its Easting and Northing values are:

lat = pi/2 - 2arctan{t'[(1 - e sin(lat))/(1 + e sin(lat))]^(e/2)}
lon = theta'/n +lonO
where
n, F, rf and lonO are derived as for the forward calculation
r' = +/-[(E - Ef)^2 + {rf - (N - Nf)}^2]^0.5  taking the sign of n
t' = (r'/(a k0 F))^(1/n)
If n is positive, theta' = atan2{(E –  Ef) , [rf – (N –  Nf)]}
but if n is negative the signs of both arguments of the atan2 function  must be reversed and theta' = atan2{– (E –  Ef) , – [rf – (N –  Nf)]}

Note that the formula for lat requires iteration. First calculate t' and then a trial value for lat using 
lat = π/2-2atan(t'). Then use the full equation for lat substituting the trial value into the right hand side of the equation. Thus derive a new value for lat. Iterate the process until lat does not change significantly. The solution should quickly converge, in 3 or 4 iterations.

Example

Parameters:
Ellipsoid:  GRS 1980, a = 6378137.000 m., 1/f = 298.2572221
                                   then  e = 0.081819191 and e^2 = 0.006694380

Latitude of natural origin LatO      44°22'45"N  =  0.774562578 rad
Scale factor at natural origin ko   1.000000
Latitude of false origin LatF         45°11'00"N  =  0.788597934 rad
Longitude of false origin LongF      6°49'00"E  =  0.118973277 rad
Easting at false origin  Ef            150000.00 m
Northing at false origin Nf              50000.00 m

Forward calculation for: 
Latitude:     47°00'00.000"N  =  0.820304748 rad
Longitude:    7°00'00.000"E  = 0.12217304 rad
first gives
mO    =  0.715900163        tO =  0.422551185           tf  =  0.414305398
n        =  0.699403505        F  =  1.869760448           rf  =  6439208.575
t         =  0.395846092       r    =  6237180.887     theta  =  0.002237931        

Then Easting E   =     163958.366 m
         Northing N =     252043.307 m

Reverse calculation for the same easting and northing first gives

r'        =  6237180.887
t'        =  0.395846092
theta' =  0.002237931

Then Latitude     = 47°00'00.000"N
        Longitude   =  7°00'00.000"E
