    History of the stereographic projection and its early use in geology (1996)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Terra nova 8 (1996), S. 0

    Notes: The origin of the polar and equatorial stereographic projections can be traced back to Hipparchos (d. 125 bc). The equatorial projection became an essential tool in astronomy and from the 2nd to mid-17th Century it enabled the development of the astrolabe as a navigational tool and later became important in mapmaking. Examples of equatorial stereographic nets by the astronomer al-Zarquǎlǎ (ad, 10701 and the cartographer Blaeu (1624) are illustrated. By the early 19th Century, mathematics was beginning to be applied outside the fields of astronomy, physics and mechanics. The stereographic net was first applied to mineralogy by Neumann (1823) and its use was subsequently popularized by Federov (1892), inventor of the universal microscope stage, and by the introduction of the Wulff net (1902). It also proved of considerable use in the correct interpretation by W.L. Bragg of Laue X-ray diffraction patterns of crystals which led to the development of X-ray crystallography. The Lambert (1772) equal-area projection, developed for cartographic use and subsequently termed the Schmidt net by Sander in 1925, was essential to the development of petrofabric analysis in the late 1920s. The transition to macroscopic structural analysis, which largely took place over the period 1930–55 is briefly touched upon.

    Sources for a history of the ternary diagram (1996)

    Notes: Anyone reading the literature on the history of graphs will soon realize that the use of graphie displays of any type was really quite unusual until the mid-ninetenth century and that those scientists who did make use of them are often familiar to us as creative thinkers in their own fields of endeavour. A ternary diagram (also known as a triangular diagram) is a particular type of graph which consists of an equilateral triangle in which a given plotted point represents the relative proportions (a, b, c) of three end-members (A, B and C), generally expressed as percentages and constrained by a + b + c = 100%. It has long been used to portray sample composition in terms of three constituents, or an observed colour in terms of three primary colours, because it is a convenient means of representing a three-component System in a planar projection, rather than as an isometric, or similar, view of a three-dimensional space. Recent papers suggest that its use is not as familiar to some statisticians as are other commonly used forms of graph. For example, although it was cited by Peddle in 1910 and more recently by Dickinson, it is not discussed in modern texts on statistical graphies nor in the key papers on the history of graphs. However, beginning with studies of colour-mixing in the eighteenth century, it has subsequently become widely used, particularly in geology, physical chemistry and metallurgy. In this paper, I attempt to document its gradual uptake as a standard method of data display and some of the scientific advances which its use has facilitated.

    Fortran IV program for grey-level mapping of spatial data (1971)
    Springer
    Mathematical geology 3 (1971), S. 95-121 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-8868
    Keywords: data processing ; mapping plotting ; statistics ; general geology ; geochemistry
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Geosciences , Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract Afortran iv computer program for grey-level mapping of spatial data using a CDC 6600 is described. The program produces maps for irregularly distributed data in as many as 10 intensity levels which are displayed in grey tones by a lineprinter. Unlimited map size and unrestricted data input provide for as many as 5000 data points per 13-in.-wide strip of map. The program is easily modified for other installations. Examples are given of geochemical analyses of stream sediments in Northern Ireland.

    Statistical graphics in geochemical journals (1987)
    Springer
    Mathematical geology 19 (1987), S. 1-24

    Notes: Abstract A quantitative investigation of types of statistical graphics and maps being used for presentation of geochemical data has been made for the 1984 volumes ofGeochemica et Cosmochimica Acta, Chemical Geology, Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology, Geochemistry International, Journal of Geochemical Exploration, Journal of Petrology, and the 1983 volume ofOrganic Geochemistry. Although a number of significant differences exist between relative proportions of text, tables, statistical graphs and maps, and other illustrations in the various journals, overall figures are comparable broadly to those found by Cleveland (1984) in a recent survey of usage in 57 journals in natural, mathematical, and social sciences. Between 18% and 35% of 1463 graphs and maps in these journals contain at least one item of error or poor presentation, indicating the need for substantial improvement in both standards of preparation and refereeing of diagrams, and we suggest guidelines for both authors and referees.
