#UCALC : https://github.com/seanpm2001/UCALC/
UCALC is one of my first #Python projects, and is one of my most developed software pieces. It is functional, but currently only works via command line, and is missing a lot of planned features. It is a highly advanced #calculator, with dozens of modes, and support for very complex #mathematical jobs, such as #calculation beyond the computers #processor type (eg: it can do #128bit and higher calculations on a #64bit machine)
Recently, I learned about the new terms Ronnabyte and Quettabyte (along with the smaller units deca (10) and hecto (100) which I didn't add in originally) and I am hoping to update the calculator (and 2 other projects) to include these new units in the near future.
UCALC was originally tested on #Windows 10, but can work on any computer that has a functional Python interpreter. I hope to make it more functional, and eventually add a functional GUI.

On Computable Numbers (Unzurechnungsfähig)
2023 | ausgemusterte Texas Instruments TI-83 Plus Taschenrechner
Wem ging Mathe nicht schonmal auf den Geist? Diese Frage kam mir beim Durchsehen der gut 250 ausrangierten Taschenrechner aus dem Friedrich-List-Gymnasium in Reutlingen in den Sinn. Die Rechner gehen zwar nicht mehr, dafür geht heutzutage jedoch die Begeisterung um Computer, statistische Berechnungen und Mathematik weiter denn je.
Der Titel "On Computable Numbers (Unzurechnungsfähig)" geht zurück auf die einflussreiche Publikation des Mathematikers Alan Turing aus dem Jahre 1936, in der er eine universelle Maschine porträtiert und damit eine mathematische Beschreibung dessen liefert, was heute die Grundlage des Computers bildet. Darüber hinaus gab Turing der bis heute unter dem Etikett der "Künstlichen Intelligenz" anhaltenden Idee Vorschub, Zahlen und andere mathematische Formalisierungen – Produkte des menschlichen Hirns – an die Wirklichkeit anzulegen, durch sie hindurch wahrzunehmen und nach ihrem Bilde zu gestalten.
Daraus ergibt sich ein Bild des Rechners oder Computers als eine dem Menschen auf den Geist rückende Maschine. In einer totalitären Form, welche Wirklichkeit als berechenbare Information begreift, wird das Morgen als eine statistische Verlängerung von gestern gezeichnet. Hier und heute werden diesem Paradigma, zur Entgeisterung der Anhänger dieses Mathematikwahns, Taschenrechner in ihrer Unzurechnungsfähigkeit gegenübergestellt.

In an other life I did a lot of #RF Radio Frequency work. Transmission line principles were bread and butter.
This #article explains a lot in a small space. Recommended.
It makes use of a #SmithChart, one of the cleverest bits of maths I know. There is a link on the page I gave that jumps to an equally good explantation of smith charts.

Well, the 1/3 is gonna be eaten by birds anyway,
The 1/3 of the rest is for insects.
Then 1/3 for mammals.
Then 1/3 for fungi,

I went on to a career heavy in Math, Physics, Chemistry, Thermodynamics.. etc. Even Electronics did Math. I hated it, but I got through it. I still use my calculator ;P

#JohnHeilbron - #Epistemology - How Do We #Know What We Know?
There isn't a whole lot of '#traditional' epistemology done in the course of this #conversation but it's interesting nonetheless.

#Quantum #computers can process large amounts of #data faster because they perform many #calculation steps in parallel. The information carrier of the quantum computer is the #qubit. With qubits there is not only the information "0" and "1", but also values in between.
