        You might begin with the very basic introduction to UTM at these two
URLs:
 
        http://www.utexas.edu/depts/grg/gcraft/notes/coordsys/coordsys.html
        http://www.utexas.edu/depts/grg/gcraft/notes/mapproj/mapproj.html

         Snyder, John P. 1987. Map Projections: A Working Manual. USGS PP
1395. Washington, DC: US Govt. Printing Office.
