	Pedro Nunes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pedro Nunes, considered to be one of the greatest mathematicians of his time, is best known for his contributions in the technical field of navigation, which was crucial to the Portuguese period of discoveries.
		Pedro Nunes lived in a transition period where science was changing from valuing theoretical knowledge (and thus where the main role of a scientist was commenting on previous authors), to providing experimental data, both as a source of information and as a method of confirming theories.
		Most of Nunes' achievements were possible because of his profound understanding of spherical trigonometry and his ability to transpose Ptolemy's adaptations of Euclidean geometry to it.

	Errors in the Encyclopaedia Britannica
		Pedro Nunes, who first conceived the curve (1550), mistakenly believed it to be the shortest path joining two points on a sphere (see great circle route).
		Its equations may be written in terms of [beta], the constant angle, and [phi] and [theta], the longitude and colatitude, respectively, of a point on the loxodrome.
		Nunes believed that a loxodrome joining two points on a sphere was the shortest distance on the sphere between those points.

		While his involvement in the development of the rhumb is known well, I had not heard of any connection with the Mercator projection until you brought it to my attention.
		Nunes understood how straight rhumbs could be useful on maps and describes a way to approximate such maps, but does not describe the precise method and does not create any maps.
