  • Abstract:
  • Stereographic projection is a key mathematical tool for mapping three-dimensional data onto a two-dimensional plane. It is especially useful for polar regions and small-scale maps. In structural geology, it solves orientation problems, while in crystallography, it analyzes crystal structures and their relationships with crystallographic planes. It also aids in solving spatial problems in mathematics. Its versatility makes it indispensable across scientific disciplines, combining theoretical insights with practical applications. As a result, stereographic projection has become a vital technique in research and problem-solving, proving its value in both academic and real-world contexts.
