[TheForge] ASCII Formulas (was: Curved Stair Layout)

Wed Jan 29 14:04:01 2003

Randy,

Type formulas in as they would appear in a BASIC program:

"B times C" is either "B * C" or "B x C"

"B squared" is either "B^2" or "B**2"

"The square root of B" is "sqrt(B)"

Hence, using the familiar Pythagorean formula to determine length of the =
hypotenuse, H, from legs B and C, we have

H =3D sqrt( B^2 + C^2 )

Notice the liberal use of spaces to make it easier to read.

Is that clear?

In THE ANVILS RING summer 1992 there is a formula for making spirial stair
railings, I've used it on 3 spirial stairs and quit a few spiral whatnots,
it works.
I'de be happy to post the formula but I'm not quite sure how to type in =
the
squares and square roots etc.
