Gerardus Mercator
Gerardus Mercator (1512-1594), Latin name of Gerhard Kremer, was a Flemish cartographer, geographer and mathematician best known for his mapping work, especially the Mercator projection, which used straight lines to indicate latitude and longitude. He was born in Rupelmonde. In 1537 he produced his first map. Mercator studied in Leuven, Belgium, under Gemma Frisius, and in 1552 he became a mapmaker and lecturer at the University of Dvisburg. His map of Europe (published in 1554) was the best of its kind for many decades. He produced a map of the British Isles in 1564 and in the same year was made court cosmographer to Duke William of Cleve. In 1568 he devised and produced a system of map projection, now called Mercator projection. This system represents meridians by parallel lines and parallels of latitude by straight lines intersecting the meridians at right angles. Only four copies of this map are known to exist. Mercator's great Atlas (begun in 1569), in which he sought to describe the creation and history of the world, was printed in its unfinished state by his son in 1595.

He studied in Louvain , where he had a geographical establishment (1534). From 1537 to 1540 he surveyed and mapped Flanders . In 1538 he produced his first map of the world (based on Ptolemy's map); in 1541 he made a terrestrial, and in 1551 a celestial, globe. He was appointed (1552) to the chair of cosmography in Duisburg. In 1554 he made a six-sheet map of Europe. The first map using the projection (the translation of the spherical earth to a two-dimensional flat plane) that bears his name appeared in 1569. Accurate in equitorial regions but distorting the size and shape of numerous other areas of the world, the Mercator projection has been more generally used than any other projection for navigators' world maps. In 1585, Mercator began a work (for which he coined the word atlas ) that included many of his earlier maps; the atlas was completed by his son and published in 1594. Mercator did cartographical work for Charles V and was cosmographer to the duke of J¼lich and Cleves. He wrote several books on subjects such as ancient geography and the science and mathematics of geography and cartography.
