    MATLAB Need help on constants for Matlab nuke sim for uni project

    Hey guys, I am currently working on a uni MATLAB group project for blast radius, thermal radius etc. Apparently these formula are the best possible to use: r_thermal = Y^0.41 * constant_th r_blast = Y^0.33 * constant_bl r_radiation = Y^0.19 * constant_rad But can anybody tell me what...

    I think I 70%'d the maths and today, if I left that physics exam with less than 90%, I would not be amused. Well, as long as its above 70% I am happy. Thank you al for your help. It was invaluable!

    Calculator (root) problem (Exam tomorrow) HP 10s assistance

    Mainly for reasons of long winded decimal points, I would have to use just 3 decimals in order to maintain my time frame. (Also accuracy). It's easy with 100 under the radical, for an answer I should be getting of 10. But when I am in the exam, its going to be 4.798687692 etc...
