  1. The inverse geodetic problem on Best Way To Publish an "Indie" Research Paper? · · Score: 2, Informative

    What you're solving is the inverse geodetic problem, a topic of study in the field of geodesy for centuries, literally. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geodesy#Second_.28inverse.29_geodetic_problem As several people have commented earlier, you need to be sure whether this is a new algorithm, a modification of earlier algorithms, or just an optimization. You can research this yourself, and I assume you already have. Possible sources include the National Geodetic Survey, http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/TOOLS/, National Geospatial Intelligence Agency https://www1.nga.mil/ProductsServices/GeodesyGeophysics/Pages/default.aspx You would want to submit a paper to conferences in geodesy or surveying. Possibilities include the American congress on Surveying and Mapping http://www.acsm.net/ Intl Assoc of Geodesy http://www.iag-aig.org/index.php . This would be an easy way to determine how revolutionary your algorithm is. These organizations also publish journals, so a conference paper could be a first step.
