MathWorld and Wolfram Alpha turn up a different projection for Eckert VI. Is this article inaccurate, or are they inaccurate? 108.216.20.135 (talk) 18:07, 10 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

The formulæ on MathWorld are correct. The image on MathWorld is wrong. That should be obvious, given that the Wolfram image is plainly not equal-area. The books by Snyder that Wolfram references show the correct image, and the one in the article matches Snyder. See p. 51 here, for example. Strebe (talk) 02:36, 11 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
