Okay, I am in no way a mathematics student but I happened to be writing a program on a map with coordinates of locations displayed on the map.
My problem is that the points could be scattered on the map with an indefinite boundary and I need to find a boundary (rectangle) around these points and thus I need to get a formula to form an algorithm so that the program will find the optimum boundary itself.
I hope this is understandable and thanks in anticipation of any response.
