Optimising the oil residue-creating part of my turbofuel factory. This isnt super advanced math but still.

Why don't you just use a solver instead of doing linear programming with pencil and paper?

The solver didnt work for what i wanted to do /:

That when you get out python or Matlab, or if insanity beacons Fortran, or maybe even c++

I think that suggestion about Matlab is silly, that's so overkill.

But, in case you ever run out of graph paper, consider Desmos, I use it a lot because it's simple:

Here's your graph on desmos

Good suggestion (although that isnt my graph), i might use it next time

right? use calc-mode like a self-respecting unix geek.

ChatGPT, Gemini and alike are good in this. And before/still also WolframAlpha. They even display and explain the steps to you. You should still check if the results make sense, but my experience so far is very positive.

joy of accomplishment? :)

Same reason I still do mortar math on paper in games that actually have it matter. It's more fun that way, and I can do it faster than going to a website and plugging it in.

[-] jerkface@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago

So you don't forget how to do it?
