Re: [bolger] Re: Mathematically impared, et al
Thanks Ron,
After I read your post, I remembered that I had a machinists handbook
and it had what I needed in it also.
This list is one tremendous resource. ;-)
best regards, Stan, Diving Duck

As an ex-GI (USAF type) who went back to school after his 'stretch I
kiddingly say I have trouble counting above 10 without taking off my
shoes & socks.
I never was an 'acamedition' but a highly practical engineering type. I
slogged my way through. Oddly enough, I find more use for the stuff now
that I'm building and thinking about boats. 'The proper incentive' I
guess.
Look in the USED book stores (BASIC physics & engineering hasn't
changed) and get copies of "Mathematical Tables from the Handbook of
Chemistry & Physics" (mine came from college BEFORE I went into the
USAF), "The Engineers Handbook", and the 'Boat Data Book" by Nicolson
(got mine at the Annapolis Sailboat Show for $5.oo)
These 'tomes' should answer 95% of your questions . . . and they look
very impressive on your library 'design shelf'.
Regards,
Ron Magen
