MERCATOR, Gerardus (1512-94) See also: 'The Nautical Chart' Flat maps of the world are often shown in what is called a Mercator projection. Such maps are named after Gerardus Mercator, the foremost geographer of the 16th century. He also introduced the word atlas to refer to a bound collection of maps. Mercator was born on March 5, 1512, in Rupelmonde, Flanders (now in Belgium). He began his education at a school operated by the Brothers of the Common Life in Hertogenbosch. From there he went to the University of Louvain, from which he graduated with a master's degree in 1532. Two years of further study turned his interest to geography. He learned astronomy, geography, and mathematics from Gemma Frisius, the leading mathematician of the Low Countries. Mercator also studied engraving, calligraphy, and instrument making all talents he later used effectively in mapmaking. Beginning in 1537 he produced a series of maps and a book on italic lettering. His work was interrupted in 1544, when he was arrested and detained for seven months on a charge of religious heresy. In order to continue working without interference from the authorities, he moved to Duisburg (now in Germany). It was there in 1569 that he used the projection for which he is famous on a cylindrical map of the world. He preferred the straight-line map because it enabled sailors to steer a course over long distances without frequent changes in

People M Mercator, Gerardus Mercator, Gerardus Gerardus Mercator - a Flemish cartographer. born: 1512 died: 1594 Mercator's most important innovation was the map now known as the Mercator projection. He also was the first to use the word "atlas" to describe a collection of maps. It was not until 1554 that Mercator published his first map of Europe. After perfecting his Mercator projection, which he first used on a map of the world in 1569, he began to work on a series of publications that was intended to describe the creation of the world and its subsequent history. Mercator's Atlas, however, was never fully realized before his death. Indeed subsequent amendments (in 1595, 1602, and 1606) only succeeded in completion a portion of the project.

Gerardus Mercator Está considerado como padre de la cartografía moderna. Fue un hombre hábil para la construcción de diversos instrumentos así como un notable cartógrafo. Mercator nació en Amberes en 1512. Curso estudios en la Universidad de Lovaina y se graduó en geografía, geometría y astronomía. Fundo su propio negocio y dirigió su actividad al grabado de mapas y cartas de navegar. En 1522 se trasladó a Duisburgo, y empezó a trabajar en su famoso mapamundi publicado en 1569, que reproducía las costas de América central y meridional, comprendía un trazado más exacto de Asia, incluyendo el sudeste de este continente. Aunque el mayor logro de este mapa fue la proyección cilíndrica, que lleva su nombre y de la que viene la proyección mas empleada hoy en día la UTM Las proyecciones Una proyección puede definirse como una red de paralelos y meridianos sobre la cual puede ser dibujado un mapa. Para trazar las proyecciones se emplean actualmente cálculos matemáticos muy precisos, pero la idea general se basa en la proyección de las sombras de los meridianos y paralelos de una esfera sobre una superficie que puede convertirse en plana sin deformaciones, tal como la superficie cilíndrica o la cónica. Hay tres tipos básicos de proyección: cilíndrica, cónica y polar. Cada una de ellas ha dado lugar a muchas otras basadas en cálculos matemáticos.

Gerardus Mercator Gerhard Kremer Mercator 1512. március 5-én látta meg a napvilágot mint Gerhard Kremer. Szülõvárosa a németalföldi Rupelmonde a mai Belgium területén található. Szülei halála után vette fel a Gerardus Mercator de Rupelmonde nevet (a Mercator a Kremer latin megfelelõje). 1594. december 2-án hunyta le szemét Duisburgban, Németországban. Magas kort, 82 évet élt meg, és mint geográfus, kozmográfus, térképész, olyan mûveket alkotott, melyek hírnevét minden idõkre megalapozták. Mint a térképészet "reformátorát" emlegetik, és valóban rá is szolgált erre a kitüntetõ megjelölésre. Amikor megalkotta világtérképét és egyben megváltoztatta a térkép alapját is, megváltozott az egész térképészet is. Ha lassan, sõt ellenkezéstõl kísérve tört is utat az általa megalkotott és róla elnevezett vetület, végül mégis elfoglalta megilletõ helyét és még ma is jól használható vetületként alkalmazzák a navigációs térképek alapjául.

Földrajz Tudománytörténet - Gerardus Mercator Elsõ világtérképe Mercator Löwenben (Louvain, Leuven) tanult, ott élt 1530-tól 1552-ig. A löweni egyetemen szerzezte meg a "magister artium" fokozatot. Löwenbõl átment az antwerpeni egyetemre, ahol a természettudományok iránt kezdett érdeklõdni. 1535 után az alkalmazott matematika felé fordult figyelme, tanárául a neves Gemma Frisiust tisztelhette. Frisius vezetõ, irányító munkájának csakhamar beérett gyümölcse: 1536-ban elkészült Mercator elsõ térképe, majd kettõs szívalakú vetületben kis világtérképe. Ezt követte földgömbje, majd egyéb csillagászati mûszerek szerkesztésébe kezdett. 1552-ben elhagyta hazáját és átköltözött Németországba. Elõzõleg az akkori, vallási villongásoktól dúlt Németalföldön többé-kevésbé súlyos zaklatások sújtották, de elhatározásának nem volt vallási oka. Jülich-Kleve-Berg hercegének meghívására költözött át, mivel a herceg Duisburgban egy egyetem felállítását határozta el. Ez azonban elhúzódott, és a városi magisztrátus jobb megoldás híján felállította a Novum Gymnasiumot, amelynek megszervezésében Mercatornak is jelentõs szerep jutott. Ott kezdte meg oktatói mûködését, de amellett földmérõi munkákkal is foglalkozott. Igen tevékeny térképészeti munkássága során a szebbnél szebb térképek egész tekintélyes számát alkotta meg.

He is best known for a new mapping technique that bears his name, the Mercator projection. The quality of his maps made them a copy source for generations of mapmakers. Gerhard Kremer - alias Gerardius Mercator Gerard Mercator is something like the grandfather of modern map making. His original name was Gerhard Kremer. Regarding his importance for the history of cartography, he is compared to Ptolemy, the ancient scholar from Alexandria in Egypt. Mercator was born in Rupelmonde in Flanders and had studied geography, cartography and mathematics at the University of Leuven (Louvain) in Belgium. He published his first map in 1537 at the age of 25 - a map of Palestine. From 1537 to 1540 Gerardus Mercator surveyed and mapped Flanders. In 1538 he made and published his first world map. It was based on the Ptolemy map. The maps by Ptolemy had been completely lost in Europe during the dark Middle Ages. Thanks to Arab scholars, some of the Ptolemy maps were saved and came back to Europe during the Renaissance period.
