Polygon area and perimeter distance, as well as polyline distance are 
basic GIS functions. Also important are multi-polygon operations such 
intersection and union. Buffer creation around points, lines and polygons 
is also used quite a lot. There are a host of network problems to tackle 
too, e.g. shortest|fastest|least cost path, the Traveling Salesman Problem 
(TSP)... Then there are myriad problems in modeling -- market analysis, 
optimal site planning, risk management, emergency response... how much 
work would you like?
