Re: This a question for al the geniuses in math, Looking for a math formula to get a value

..oO(SM)
>I've posted the following question in a math group. I'll keep you
posted:

I need to find a mathematical formula for this next problem...

I have a list containing 13 items. The list is dynamic, wich means
that sometimes it could contains 20 items or 35 items o only 4 items.

I want to show the items in groups of 4. Again, this is dynamic.
Sometimes i want to show the items in groups of 11, 2, etc...

So, if i have 34 items and i want to show it in groups of 10, I would
end up having 4 groups (3 groups of 10, and 1 group of 4)... So far so
good. Let's continue. If item 'joe' is the 12th item, then item 'joe'
is in group 2. right? If the item 'banana' is the 8th item, then item
'banana' is in group 1...and so on...
<?php
$itemsPerGroup = 10;
$itemPosition = 12;
$group = ceil($itemPosit ion/$itemsPerGroup) ;
var_dump($group );
?>

Hi all I was helping my niece with her trigonometry homework last night. Her calculator's batteries were flat, so I thought I would use Python's math module to calculate sin, cos, and tan.

Javascript has a very small math function list. However there is no reason that this list can not be extended greatly. Speed is not an issue, unless you nest complicated calculations several levels deep. In that case you need much more ram than a PC has to store functions calculated in loops so that you do not have to recalculate every time...
