Video: Combinations vs Permutations

This short video explains the difference between combinations and permutations.

Change of Plans

Apparently, someone on YouTube, maybe the company itself, doesn't like algebra. Who knew talking about the F.O.I.L. method was so offensive? I am appealing the decision.

For the time being, I will probably cease making videos until this matter is resolved (I expect it to be in my favor, but who knows).

Update: YouTube restored my FOIL video and I am back in good standing.  Happy dance!  Eddie

Math Videos and Update

Sample Slide

Over the next few weeks I am going to working several short math videos that I will post on YouTube.  When each video is completed, I will leave a link to that video on this blog.  

The videos are going to be pretty short covering various topics in mathematics.  

I hope you enjoyed the HP 15C programs posted over the last two weeks.  I plan to continue to post programs for various calculators this year. 


 I thank you for the comments and reviews.  Talk to you next time, and be safe everyone,

Eddie

HP 15C: Approximate Length of Sunlight During a Day



HP 15C:  Approximate Length of Sunlight During a Day

For the HP 35S version, please click here:


Source: Total Daily Amount of Solar Radiation - HP 67/97 Energy Conservation Pac, December 1978, Author: Hewlett Packard

Instructions:

Y Stack:  Enter the latitude (North as positive, South as negative).  Use the D.MMSS (degrees-minutes-seconds) format

X Stack:  The number of days after March 21.  A 365 day year is assumed, as well as assuming March 21 is the vernal equinox.

Run the program.

This is an approximation.

Result:  approximately 12.5735 (12 hours, 57 minutes, 35 seconds)

Sydney, June 21.  Latitude of 33°51’31” S (enter as -33.5131), 92 days after March 21. 
Result:  approximately 9.4439 (9 hours, 44 minutes, 39 seconds)

Rome, September 1.  Latitude of 41°51’ N, 164 days after March 21.
Result:  approximately 12.5323 (12 hours, 53 minutes, 23 seconds)

HP 15C: Soderberg’s Equation for Fatigue



HP 15C: Soderberg’s Equation for Fatigue

Source:  Step by Step Solutions for your HP Calculator: Engineering Applications.  HP-32S.  Hewlett Packard.  Corvallis, OR.  1988  pg. 52-54




Equation:

Syp/FS = (Smax + Smin)/2 + K * (Syp/Se) * ((Smax – Smin)/2)

Variables:

R0 = Syp = yield point stress
R1 = Se = endurance stress reversed bending tests
R2 = Smax = maximum applied stress
R3 = Smin = minimum applied stress
R4 = K = stress concentration factor
R5 = FS = factor of safety

Instructions:

Enter the known values in each of the variables.  Enter the number of the variable to be solved in register I ( [ STO ] [ TAN ] (I) ).  To solve, enter a range, and press [ f ] [ ÷ ] (SOLVE), [ e^x ] (B). (*or whatever label you assigned this program to)

Example:

Find the yield point (R0) given the following:
R1 = Se = 33,000 psi
R2 = Smax = 20,000 psi
R3 = Smin = 10,000 psi
R4 = K = 1.5
R5 = FS = 2
Store 0 in RI.

Solution:  55,000 psi
