Given 4 points in 3-space not lying in a plane, I want the center and radius of the incident sphere. I know about the elegant determinant solution (4 or 5 determinants, each 4x4, plus a few arithmetic operations) and I'm using that, but maybe someone has coded a faster version. Thanks for any information. Steve Gray
