Some notes on the impact of Lagrange's memoir "On the construction of geographical maps"
Abstract
These are notes on the impact of Lagrange's memoir on the construction of geographical maps. We mention the relations of some ideas and questions introduced in this memoir with other notions that appeared later in the works of several mathematicians, including in particular Chebyshev (19th c.) and Darboux (19th-20th c.), two mathematicians who were particularly interested in geography.
