Dear Vissarion and Adam, My name is Guillermo- a Computer science student at UCLA. I am excited at the possibility of contributing to such a useful library! My application is not yet complete, but I will post my draft on here to demonstrate my intent to participate in the program. For the competency test, I began to implement a representation of points on earth and used the great-circle formula to calculate the shortest distance between two points. I will have a more in-depth explanation of the code by the final iteration of the draft along with the complete proposal and application. Sincerely, Guillermo R. -- View this message in context: http://boost.2283326.n4.nabble.com/gsoc17-My-proposal-tp4693288.html Sent from the Boost - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
