Dear Rika,

thanks for your interest in this project!

If your proposal get accepted me and/or Adam will mentor you.

It is not well documented. But recognising it should have been part of
the test ;)
Anyway, it's https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Algorithm_Implementation/Geometry/Convex_hull/Monotone_chain

I do not see how this affects the student's proposal but depending on
the quality of the applications
the number of selected students for Boost Geometry will be from zero to two.

Best regards,
Vissarion.
