February 27, 200818 yr I finished my pre-calculus project today... It's something I could've simply made in MSPaint, but nay--it's composed entirely off EQUATIONS. And a small piece of the code...: A sad excuse for a thread, or utterly awesome?
February 27, 200818 yr haha, i couldn't resist. He's been so popular lately, i had to give him a shot
February 27, 200818 yr As much I hate pre-calc, that is frickin ace. :nice: (isn't it Briggins smiley?? ;))
February 27, 200818 yr That's cool. But it mustve taken you awhilst. How much time did you have to do that lol?
February 27, 200818 yr dude! that's awesome! i've had to write some TI-83 programs myself, but nothing nearly that cool.
February 27, 200818 yr And just wait till you get to Calculus II - you can then do all that in reverse!:laugh3: (Solve these (shape) equations for volume using any of three methods - cylindrical shells, rotation of a plane, or by "slicing". BTW - You have 1 minute... good luck!:P) And it's just so useful! (well, it could be; or you could calculate the volume just using a computer sim. that fills the void and counts data points, or if it's a real object, you could just fill it with fluid, and measure the volume..) I think it might be used for computer simulations (programming), if you would want to do that.. Assuming you could fit a formula to the object!:laugh3: Hmm.. where is this stuff used???:thinking:
February 27, 200818 yr Author :D Glad you all like it. :) Haha yeah these are just the baby steps toward programming... or visual programming. :D I'm planning to be a visual & game programmer so yeah I'll be continuing my math all the way past Calc II, I bet. :freak:
February 27, 200818 yr YEA!!! GREAT JOB ALYSSA!:hat: Don't go crazy just yet - wait till you've been programming a few years!! (it's a blissful madness, I've been told..):jester: it is fun to finally figure out how something works like those equations.. kind of an aha! moment (nerdvana..:laugh3:) I dig it too.
February 27, 200818 yr As much I hate pre-calc, that is frickin ace. :nice: (isn't it Briggins smiley?? ;)) that's what i was thinking too :wacko: but hey, well done Alyssa! that's something i could NOT do by myself for sure!
February 27, 200818 yr (isn't it Briggins smiley?? ;)) Well..yeah...Briggs actually adopted him...but you know we share him.
February 28, 200818 yr Ha that's cool. All I do in visual design is make stupid forms and right awkward code! :dozey:
