Equations for Mercator projections?

Subject: Equations for Mercator projections?
geoff@XXX.XXX
Date: Mon Apr 14 2003 - 16:40:19 EDT

I have some students who need to be able to convert lat/long into x/y
coordinates on a Mercator projection. They know the lat/long of the
upper-left corner and the scale of the map. They haven't had any
success finding equations on the Web. Does anybody have any pointers?
