Mercator projection. The Mercator projection is a conformal (angle-preserving) projection that maps latitude φ and longitude λ to rectangular coordinates (x, y). It is widely used—for example, in nautical charts and in the maps that you print from the web. The projection is defined by the equations x = λ − λ0 and y = 1/2 ln ((1 + sin φ) / (1 − sinφ)), where λ0 is the longitude of the point in the center of the map. Write a program that takes λ0 and the latitude and longitude of a point from the command line and prints its projection.
