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,

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

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
