please i just get fluster with the concept of coordinate transformation,such as spherical coordinate and cylinderical transformation

Hi driller, I don’t understand what your request is. This article is about the Cartesian planes and the transformation matrices used.

I don’t know much about land surveys. It’s probably relevant, but I don’t know what is it that you’re trying to achieve. 4 degrees 42 minutes with regards to which axis? In what direction? Do you have a starting point you’re interested in?

Very good and understandable.

Can you make a brief application of THIS to a land survey, wherein the magnetic declination ( at least xy plane ) has changed 4 degrees 42 minutes in the last 80 years near Lockhart, Texas, please?

maybe send private reply to my above email address.

Thanks

epsilon, I don’t understand your question. And the article deals with (transformation) matrices specifically for the 3D domain. On casual inspection, your formula cannot be represented with matrices.

hi how to transform this formula?
x1=beta1+(x2-beta1)exp(k1*x2*(x2-1))
z1=beta2+(z2-beta2)exp(k1*z2*(z2-1))
how to denote this coordinate(x2,z2)???????
