The bible of geodetic formulation, Richard Rapp>s often cited two part
"Geometric Geodesy", is now on-line, free, downloadable in PDF at Ohio
State>s "Knowledge Bank":
https://kb.osu.edu/dspace/browse?type=author&value=Rapp%2C+Richard+H&sort_by=1&order=DESC
The second volume begins with an exhaustive concrete explanation of
the concepts involved in the formulation of the inverse and direct
principal problems, followed by several well known recipes, including
Vincenty>s benchmark Survey Review paper, Sodano>s non-iterative
equations and his (and others) longitudal anti-podal solution(s), as
well as Saito>s numerical approach, using Gaussian quadrature.
In its own right, the first volume begins by exploring not only basic
elliptic properties, behavior and parameters (including angular
eccentricity), but also various direct and inverse series expansions.
Go get it while the gettin>s good!!! P=) P=) P=)
