Dear LM_NET,
    A teacher has come forward with this problem. I am NOT a math
person. Anybody out there who can help him?

> I figure this may be hidden in some math book somewhere.

<PRE>Would you please pass this problem on to however may have an answer.
We are looking for a formula which will tell us distance from point to
point on
Earth if we put in latitude and longitude.&nbsp; Example, latitude and
longitude of Kotz and latitude and longitude of New York ==> 3272 miles
(or whatever).
I figure this may be hidden in some math book somewhere.</PRE>
