Re: Maxwell's Equations

Androcles a écrit :
... Tangent is just a ratio, sin/cos. What use is that?
As someone used to programming a computer (and I've had occasion
to compute sine from the Taylor series on a machine that didn't have
a library available to it, a welding robot that was installed in Ford's F150
plant in Norfolk VA) I simply don't need to define a tangent from
memory as tan = sin/cos because the computer is still going to compute
both sin and cos first.

It's clear you're lying when pretending having been involved in
any kind of numerical computation, or that, quite unlikely, your
employers were complete fools and insane to let you aproach
any technical work.
