The discussion centers around how instruments utilize the absorption or reflection of light to calculate specific properties of objects. Participants are exploring the mathematical frameworks and algorithms involved in these processes, as well as seeking examples of such devices.
The discussion does not appear to reach a consensus, as participants are exploring different aspects of the topic without settling on a definitive answer or agreement regarding the mathematical methods involved.
Participants have not specified the assumptions underlying their questions or claims, and the discussion lacks detailed mathematical explanations or definitions that could clarify the algorithms mentioned.
Provide an example of a device of that kind.Nerdydude101 said:Supposedly devices use special algorithms to determine specific things about an object by its absorption or reflection of light, how exactly would such equations work? (if this isn't calculus then please tell me and ill post it somewhere else, i wasn't sure what type of mathematics this would be)
