An equation into a C function

Asked by DJ_AM_Juicebox in C Programming Language, C++ Programming Language, Math & Science Questions

Hi,

I'm looking at the first formula on this page (where x and y are calculated given a lat/long):

    http://mathworld.wolfram.com/MercatorProjection.html

I need to make that a C function, but I'm not sure what some of these symbols translate into in the C math library.

First though, I'm not even sure how to read the y = equation. Is it saying that line (2) is the same as (6)? I'm not sure what 'ln' is, or sinh, tanh.

Any help would be great,

ThanksStart Free Trial
