This is just sad April 25, 2007
Posted by spacemom in : She Blinded me with Science , 3 commentsDudes, This is sad. Like really really really sad.
I just went down the the bowels of the observatory and pulled "Textbook on Spherical Astronomy" by W.M. Smart out of the library.
I have to do some Spherical Trig.
The saddest part of all is that I could actually DO this stuff without a book when I was 16. 16!!! Now, at 36, I can’t even remember how to calculate the angle based on a chord….
