I’ve been using the Soulver app for Mac ( $11.99) and iOS ( $2.99) for years now, and have fallen so far under its spell of allowing me to perform calculations using natural language that I often forget how to do them the old-fashioned way. How many minutes will it take to transfer one terabyte at 10 megabits per second? If Voyager 1 is 16,381,324,013 kilometers away from the sun, how many astronomical units (AU) is that? How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if it could chuck at a rate of 10 units of wood per second for a week? (13,333 minutes 109.5 AU 6,048,000 wood units.) If only I could remember the details!Īdd to that the routine conversions I need to perform constantly.
I never made it through calculus in college - though I suspect the decades of writing code since and general mental maturity would let me grasp it now - but there’s plenty from algebra, geometry, and trigonometry I could still put to use. I used to love math and math used to love me. #1628: iPhone 14 impressions, Dark Sky end-of-life, tales from Rogue Amoeba.
