Gerardo Mercator (1512-1594), ge\u00f3grafo y matem\u00e1tico flamenco, uno de los fundadores de la geograf\u00eda matem\u00e1tica moderna. Estudia primero en Bois-le-duc para marchar a Lovaina sobre 1530. En el Trilingue<\/em>, bajo el magisterio de Gemma Frisio, se aplic\u00f3 a la confecci\u00f3n de mapas seg\u00fan Ptolomeo, convirti\u00e9ndose en el m\u00e1s habilidoso constructor de globos e instrumentos matem\u00e1ticos. El globo terrestre de Mercator de 1541, dedicado a Nicol\u00e1s Perrenot, sobrepas\u00f3 en \u00e9xito al de su maestro. En 1551 produce un nuevo globo terrestre dedicado a Jorge de Austria, obispo de Lieja, y un a\u00f1o despu\u00e9s el De usu annuli astronomici<\/em>. Ese mismo a\u00f1o de 1552 se muda con su familia a Duisburg, en el condado de Cl\u00e8ves. All\u00ed se convirti\u00f3 en el ge\u00f3grafo del duque y continu\u00f3 su trabajo con el mapa de Europa, publicado en 1554. La mayor contribuci\u00f3n cient\u00edfica de Mercator radica en la soluci\u00f3n que aport\u00f3 para la representaci\u00f3n en papel de la redondez de la tierra: los grandes mapas y cartas de hasta entonces hac\u00edan la conformaci\u00f3n de las tierras inexacta, lo que causaba problemas a la navegaci\u00f3n; Mercator invent\u00f3 su proyecci\u00f3n cil\u00edndrica en la que todos los meridianos son l\u00edneas rectas, perpendiculares al ecuador, y todos los paralelos, l\u00edneas horizontales paralelas al ecuador. El resultado de su trabajo fue el Atlas siue cosmographicae meditationes de fabrica mundi et fabricati figura<\/em>. Mercator reimprimi\u00f3, corrigi\u00f3 y coment\u00f3 las Tabulae geographicae<\/em> de Ptolomeo en 1578 y 1588 y, ante de todo, sac\u00f3 la primera entrega de su Atlas en 1585, y la segunda en 1589, aunque no vivi\u00f3 para ver la tercera y \u00faltima parte impresa.
