Oh yeah and, eezeshank, it's landmasses that are far from the equator that are too big, compared to those near the equator, in a Mercator projection. Not north vs. south, as you imply. If lecturing people -- especially scientists and mathematicians -- tred more carefully. Why not use the internet that's in front of you, to conceal what an ignoramus you are?
I see you have a traditional map behind you Piers showing countries incorrectly in proportion to each other.The southern continents are shown far to small.
e.g. Greenland with 2.1 million sq km appears larger than China when in fact China with 9.5 million sq km is more than 4 times larger.
@ezeeskank No. Africa is on the equator. And it's not enlarged, on a Mercator projection. Problem?
I like you. You're funny.

@elbuggo Good question. Very little actual measurements or evidence. Cheers Piers

@ezeeskank GOOD POINT. It also doesn't show the polar regions very well. We will get a better map. Thanks Piers

*differential equations* I should have said, more specifically. Solving them is a lot harder than simply differentiating an expression.

ezeeskank believe me, the man's aware of the various pros and cons of different map projections! He eats meaty differential calculus for breakfast...
