[OSRS-PROJ] Oblique Stereographic

[Gerald I. Evenden]

Unfortunately, the math presentation in the EPSG Guide 7 is a
horror story.  First, be sure to get the pdf version as my browser,
and I suspect others also, make a mess of the html math. 
I do use the Guide as a reference when dealing with other sources
and in trying to determine which "version" to use.  Unlike 
Snyder-like sources, many are not suitable for program development.
This is the reason I now make sure I have a LaTeX document file
that I work from when doing the coding.

I hope that the readers of my pdf files find the math clear,
complete and unambiguous---something from which you can code a
procedure.  I limit the math to the kernel of the projection
and omit all claptrap associated with cadestral usage such
as false eastings, etc.. This is taken care of by the outer
layer of proj.  Also, the kernel is written for the unit
sphere or ellipsoid (a=1) so it ends up that the only thing
of concern is the eccentricity factor.
