Hi ya Folks,
As I work my way through the Parallax tutorials and inch further into
alien territory, some of it hostile (i.e., math), I'm discovering the
rich deficiencies (thankfully at the time!) that accompanied my own
particular brand of fine arts education.
I stare at numbers and have my own ideas as to how they should interact
and why, but the numbers themselves, and the electronics they empower
seem to have ideas of their own. I figure I should try and tame them,
as well as spare myself copious amounts of grief even if it means
relinquishing mathematical Glory. Essentially, I need to buy a good
calculator (oddly, when I studied math in public school, we were not
allowed to use a calculator).
I'm really out at sea on this: can I get some recommendations as to
what I should look for by way of features and/or specific models that
would be suitable for all the basic electronics stuff. I don't need
anything ultra fancy, but need something EASY to operate and understand
that will get the numbers to do all the right things.
Also, I suppose I'm now officially consigned to the Remedial Math Room
(sure is crowded in here!): any tips on a good EASY (simpathetically
light-hearted) math brush-up book? The farthest I went into math was
the intro to trig (or was it calculus?)...hmmm, its been a while. I
need to attain or regain fluency in everything from algebra onward in
order to interface my head to the Stamp as well as analogue/digital
electronics in general. Did I mention it should be easy?
Thanks a bunch.
Cheers,
-Neal

Texas Instruments makes some good scientific calculators that will do most
basic trig and whatnot. Hit the local college bookstore and see what they
recommend -- this is usually all you need. It needs to do scientific
notation and have the sine / cosine stuff as well as square root, etc...
If you need to do binary / hex stuff, you can find some that have computer
math features also.

I still have the original 1971 Signetics (the folks who invented it) NE555
data book, but the pages are too yellow to make good copies ;-)

Actually, I'm doing a bunch of analogue to digital experiments now, and
all of the accompanying conversions. Ok. Computer math features.
Thanks.

I just spent the last two years getting caught back up on math at the local
community college. If you have one near you, and they teach evening
courses, it's well worth the time & $$'s in my mind.
I'll second the TI Calculator suggestion. You might check out the TI
Calculator web site to compare features:
Good luck!

the confirmation from yahoo is really slow///////like two three
days............it also will appear in your inbox ( like a regular
email ) if you have a rule set in outlook....( i.e. will not be
filtered...)
I had given up when I noticed the confirm emails, unopened in my
regular stack of email

Subject: [noparse][[/noparse]basicstamps] How to Interface My Head to the Stamp?
Hi ya Folks,
As I work my way through the Parallax tutorials and inch further into
alien territory, some of it hostile (i.e., math), I'm discovering the
rich deficiencies (thankfully at the time!) that accompanied my own
particular brand of fine arts education.
I stare at numbers and have my own ideas as to how they should interact
and why, but the numbers themselves, and the electronics they empower
seem to have ideas of their own. I figure I should try and tame them,
as well as spare myself copious amounts of grief even if it means
relinquishing mathematical Glory. Essentially, I need to buy a good
calculator (oddly, when I studied math in public school, we were not
allowed to use a calculator).
I'm really out at sea on this: can I get some recommendations as to
what I should look for by way of features and/or specific models that
would be suitable for all the basic electronics stuff. I don't need
anything ultra fancy, but need something EASY to operate and understand
that will get the numbers to do all the right things.
Also, I suppose I'm now officially consigned to the Remedial Math Room
(sure is crowded in here!): any tips on a good EASY (simpathetically
light-hearted) math brush-up book? The farthest I went into math was
the intro to trig (or was it calculus?)...hmmm, its been a while. I
need to attain or regain fluency in everything from algebra onward in
order to interface my head to the Stamp as well as analogue/digital
electronics in general. Did I mention it should be easy?
Thanks a bunch.
Cheers,
-Neal

Don't tell me they made you use a slide rule!
Texas Instruments makes some good scientific calculators that will do most
basic trig and whatnot. Hit the local college bookstore and see what they
recommend -- this is usually all you need. It needs to do scientific
notation and have the sine / cosine stuff as well as square root, etc...
If you need to do binary / hex stuff, you can find some that have computer
math features also.

Actually, I'm doing a bunch of analogue to digital experiments now, and
all of the accompanying conversions. Ok. Computer math features.
Thanks.

community college. If you have one near you, and they teach evening
courses, it's well worth the time & $$'s in my mind.
I'll second the TI Calculator suggestion. You might check out the TI
Calculator web site to compare features:

Good luck!
