sorry man

sorry for?

Enjoy your blog, its helped me out a couple of time! Thanks.

Hey, great job, I really like it when it students post their work on here. I wish it would happen more often.

From your work, I see that revit can handle exponentional equations, can it handle other functions, such as logarithms or trig functions directly, or do you need to create approximating equations? I've never had a math class that concluded with a presentation like this. I think it is a really logical idea. It is useful to see a direct application of the mathematical theory learned in the class.

Synergy, Thanks a lot... as for the amount of complexity Revit can handle it can do the functions mentioned in this post:

• Addition— +
• Subtraction— -
• Multiplication—*
• Division—/
• Exponentiation—^: x^y, x raised to the power of y
• Logarithm—log
• Square root—sqrt: sqrt(16)
• Sine—sin
• Cosine—cos
• Tangent—tan
• Arcsine—asin
• Arccosine—acos
• Arctangent—atan
• e raised to an x power—exp
• Absolute Value—abs

So it may take some re arranging of the formulas but you can do almost anything. It can only calculate based on your input so it is very important to pay attention to every little formulation you type.

I think it was a great idea to have a presentation of the application of calculus as a final. I learned more creating that presentation than in the whole semester. I am not sure how many calculus classes are doing this, but my class is called "Calculus I for Technology" and consisted of the Architect, MEP, Structural, and Acoustic Engineering students. Perhaps the normal calculus class did not force the applications of it?

Yeah, when I studied calculus years ago my courses were in a regular math department, so they were more classic math classes.

That is a pretty solid list of functions, thanks for sharing it.

No problem. I love to play around with the idea of formulas driving dimensions, radiuses, and geometry... fascinates me.
