Or x equals minus b plus or minus the square root of...then I forget the rest...

It's all Greek to me! :mrgreen:

I wasn't sure Bob, I find it hard to differentiate these days mate! :mrgreen:

I didn't do differential calculus either! :mrgreen:

mate, you need an iPhone! The scientific calculator on it is fab. Then you just need the old SohCahToa and you're off. I'd work it out for you anyway of course, but the team have done it already.

Soh Cah Toa

Similar for me, but being a broad-spoken Hereford lad, it was just:-
ohhhhhhh
aaaaaarh
ohhhhh aaaarh

(Shame you never hear the Hereford dialect any more - the place has been taken over by the Brummies)

Dick - is that why most of the roads in Herefordshire are quite curvy?

Nah.... That was due to the homeward wanderings over countless years, of zillions of locals, after a night on the cider.

Our maths teacher told us he was a Red Indian so we never forgot, Trig my favourite type of calculations (and probably the only ones I could do) if only there had been a Trig question on my O level paper.

[Benchwayze]

Well Stew,

I have been reading up on the Trig I never learned it at school.

Now I can see where it is useful, even if I did think Pythagoras's Theorem was geometry!

Anyway I know the 3,4,5 thing. Which is what I use for every section, whenever I build a shed. Then I know it can't be anything but 'Skwur' . :lol:
I though SocCahToah was what Sylvester the Cat used to say.. 'Sufferin' Sohcatowah'...

Regards

When i did A level maths our teacher used to say this little sentance and it has lived with me

Soh - Silly old Harry
Cah - Caught A Herring
Toa - Trawling Of America

Weird how things stick.

The only one I can remember is BOMDAS

BODMAS though, wasn't it?

Oh! my memory is really going, I am not imagining it.

 

[DTR]

One mnemonic that has stuck with me is the one for resistor colour codes. Not sure if I can repeat that one here though :lol:

 

[devonwoody]

Cannot think of a colour beginning with C or F so cant be too bad.

 

[DTR]

Oh well, here it is then

Bad

Rainbows and virgins ring a bell...how politically incorrect we were in those days...and before....especially in Norwich!

[adzeman]

We were taught
Salford = Sine
Technical = Tan
College = Cos

 

[9fingers]

How does that act as a mnemonic for the formulae for each trig function of a right angled triangle?
