To derive the projected Easting and Northing coordinates of a point with geographical coordinates (lat,lon): E = FE + r sin(theta) N = FN + r0 - 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 t = tan(pi/4 – lat/2)/[(1 – e sin(lat))/(1 + e sin(lat))]^e/2 n = sin(latO) F = mO/(n tO^n) rO = a F tO^n kO r = a F t^n kO 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 +lon0 where n, F, and rO are derived as for the forward calculation r' = +/-[(E - FE)^2 + {r0 - (N - FN)}^2]^0.5 taking the sign of n t' = (r'/(a k0 F))^(1/n) If n is positive, theta' = atan2{(E – FE) , [rO – (N – FN)]} but if n is negative the signs of both arguments of the atan2 function must be reversed and theta' = atan2{– (E – FE) , – [rO – (N – FN)]} 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.
