Apparently, a big chunk of people never use anything more than a bit of simple addition, and that's it.

I'm in Vic's camp (having trained in a branch of engineering) but I must admit I rarely use most of it now. A bit of basic accounting maths, occasional simple geometry on some building projects, and that's about it. The most use I'd have for formulae would be for making up Excel type spreadsheets.
still got a slide-rule somewhere....and I can still use it... Hang onto it Vic. You can probably get a job demonstrating 'Forgotten Crafts 101 - The Slide Rule'..... "Ladies and Gentlemen, believe it or not, before the days of computers and calculators, people would do mathematical calculations on a sliding stick with numbers inscribed on the face. Elder Lewis has kindly volunteered to show us this ancient craft.... " :twisted:

Mind you my dad was an engineer, as was my grandad...I knew about micrometers and logarithms years before I actually got round to doing them in school.....still got a slide-rule somewhere....and I can still use it...

:D :D :D

Vic Lol. I'm just a dumb old country boy. Algebra gave me fits. Never saw much sense in adding X and Y. :P Which is probably why I had problems with it. I didn't care. Although, I've yet to use that or geometry to balance my checking account or my budget. :P]]> Sunday Songwriters Group TwistedFingers https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/sunday-songwriters-group-week-49-3/#post-131395 https://guitarnoise.forum/sunday-songwriters-group/sunday-songwriters-group-week-49-3/#post-131389 Sun, 09 Oct 2005 17:17:03 +0000

Oh well....if a thing's worth doing, it's worth doing twice....

Maintaining our slightly left of centre approach for the last few weeks of this year's SSG this week's assignement is to write a song using geometry as the main source of imagery for the song. For example, square peg in a round hole, six degrees of separation, love triangle etc.

Good writing
