I know C syntax and really 300 lines of code, ever. I want to learn to miniaturize circuitry for making custom chips. So, if you want to make a scientific calculator, I want to make it fit in my bike computer for the purposes of controlling a magnus effect rotor and the electronic shifters.

If you get me an analog computer and text book, I will help you make whatever scientific calculator you want. Will the purposes of this scientific calculator be profitable or are we only in it for the glory?
As a kid I thought medical advancements would make us immortal pertaining to without death in med term. As time goes on alls I see is oppression. We must advance science as far as we can in our lifetimes it will make us evolve much quicker than repeated wars.

Yes this would make perfect synchrony patterns. I am interested in developing our idea further. I will think about it when I have time and you do the same. I like learning college books so I can learn something new too

I found a book 20% off called "Analog Computing" by Bernd Ulmann. I think, we would need to pin down the circuitry you are trying to describe and then learn to do lithography. We are unlearned and have no constructive methods or processes to our ends.

Do you have snake installed on your graphing calculator? If you help me do that I will learn math. I basically quit math because no one would show me how to put games on my TI-83.

I will attempt to learn programming as I think of how the numbers can be extended and varied.

I came to this forum wondering if these ideas were applicable to science. You fascinated me with possibilities of electronic synchronization.

The little progress I made was if you count by 3s and only use a 0 besides zero to get 1. In a way the 0 would represent .5

Counting by 3s 13= 6, 21 would equal 7. If you 2x3= 20 and since there is no 20 you can assume there is a .5 on there.

This idea was kind of garbage to adding to its use but maybe it will help spark ideas later on

3 = 2x10
7= 2x30
It’s like a decimal system and I am aiming to reduce or eliminate calculator error. I am not sure the potential on a smaller number creating less error. I do believe answers change and repeating close enough decimals should never be used in my mind. Me and my 6th grade teacher argued about .33 and we just agreed it was understood

By counting by an odd number repeating decimals now equate. with 0 representing half a unit its own number. I theorize it might eliminate even fractions because 1 is divisible by 3 and seven is divisible by two by eliminating decimals numbers do not run off the calculator even 1 could be divisible by 00 or .5

All this gibberish I think has hidden potential but without ranting I would not of created this kangaroo math system. So thank you space . Com for letting me post I love space . Com

I noticed when you divide 1/3 then /3 a total of 4 times you get 0.012345679012346. I think dividing by 3 that many times should have a clearer resolution than a dragged on decimal possibly to the end of my phone app
Here are some more flaws of only counting by 10.

111/3 = 37
11/3 = 3.66 repeating
1/3 = .33 repeating
.1/3=.03
.11/3 =.3666667
.111/3=.037

With this cool pattern I would consider it beneficial to find a more consistent pattern that compliments the beauty of nature some how. In a way of geometry like how did the pyramids line up right at the center of the equator. The Egyptians had their own math system. Maybe try to find out about ancient astronomy would probably be complex enough to exact the location of the pyramid possibly without any aerial aid

Dive 1/3 4 times only counting by threes 1/3=.1
.1/3 =..01
.01/3=.001
.001/3=.0001

This may not be accurate cuz I’m never done ranting but this looks like a much more beautiful system of division with 3s
Now I really am done and apologize again I wish I wasn’t nobody but o well my chin is up

&=0
A=1/2a unit
B=1/3 a unit
C=1/4 a unit
Etc. letter corresponds to fraction of unit

1/2 =.5
.5/2=.25
.25/2=.0125
.0125/2=.006125

Counting by 3s with letter addition
1/2= A
A/2 = .&A
&A/2=.&&A
&&A/2= &&&A
&&&A/2=&&&&A

I found this to be another symmetrical pattern

The half becomes one .01
.01x4 is 1 or .25 value representing an odd number when divided

This is useless info but the idea of incorporating fractions of a unit makes me have higher hopes in success

One thing I’d like to remember 2 ods make an Even but two evens do not make an odd this is just something the letter system can fix if needed. Just like decimals but no repeating decimal more of a tape measure of a unit

The half a unit always has half the value with an added zero since the half a unit can evenly be split into two the second use of the letter just represents a different fraction. Each decimal place has a half a unit value that is the same each decimal the A will always represent that decimals half unit

1/2 a unit would be .divisible in half by adding a decimal and let A to represent half the previous even fraction

Each decimal represents a greater fraction of where A is half a unit and 0A is a 1/4 a unit and 00A is an 1/8 th a unit
