Opinions without pi are just onions. :cool:

Awesome! What a fantastic calculator! I never used them on tests, but the 3-d graphing was quite handy when I was working on homework :cool:

Still have those calculators? I'm a big fan of the 85 and the 89! I do not own either of those! And Wolfram Alpha is absolutely fantastic! :cool:

I get a vibe that a lot of people here on the forum like Casio calculators over Texas Instruments? :cool:

Albert, I've been working on this problem on and off between work breaks for two days now. Could you post one more hint? I just have something not quite right but I'm not afraid to admit that! :p

I hope to buy one of those soon! The Hp-50g is probably the coolest calculator I've ever had (I consider it to be in the same genre as the TI-89 :cool:). For Christmas, I bought my best friend an HP-48g and he loves it! I wish I had bought it for myself, as I think Hp is a pretty sweet...

I have been a real nerd for a long time, and I have a decent collection of graphing calculators. My collection includes: TI-82 TI-83 TI-83 Plus TI-Nspire CAS Casio fx-9750 My favorite calculator is probably the TI-82 just because it has a real nice 80s look to it and runs great. I have...

Perhaps I don't quite take chess tournaments as seriously as you do, but I've played a few and won locally, and honestly, I don't try to remember moves at all. I own a chess board where I play against the computer and usually try to play at least once or twice a day. The computer has varying...

[FONT=arial]The school systems around here don't offer Latin, it's all about being able to say "yo hablo Español" and know what it means ;)

In English? :cool:

Hi everyone! I'm wanting to polish my calculus skills a bit so that I can help people here on the site more :cool:. I own a couple of books on calculus as it is, but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what their favorite books on the subject were so that I could have a search of it...

I won't lie, the syntax of that problem question isn't clicking with me. I'm going to ask a couple of others here to have a look at it, and see what they think, so that we can get the answer for you as soon as possible! In the meantime, if the problem is written in ink on a worksheet or...

Is there a picture to go along with it, or is that all you have?

I would type (In calculator terms) : (10/(sin(23))) *And make sure your measure is in degrees, not radians...The answer should match above :)

Sure thing! :cool: The Law of Sines is a ratio. The neat thing about this law is that it works for ANY triangle. It's a secret that those geometry teachers forbid to tell their students :D The formula for the law of sines is $$ \frac{a}{sin(A)} = \frac{b}{sin(B)} = \frac{c}{sin(C)}$$ The...
