Subject: RE: I'm a post killerI'm not too good at the physics stuff.
The math comes from having to do it. A lot. Mostly algebra stuff (not real hard to just plug the values into the formula ), but over the years I developed a couple "shortcuts" to do it in my head. That drives people nuts.
We were trying to calculate the radius of a curve (we were doing simple surveying to determine trafficability of a route ), and one guy had a calculator. It was driving him nuts that I could do most of the equations in my head faster than he could with the idiot box. |
