Limey 242 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 I remember it as BODMAS too - and a slide rule is easy - it is simply a linear log table! How about the resistor color code? BBROYGBVGW Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TGC 216 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Mr Charlesworth, the very thought that such an Eisoptrophobia suffering person as wot I am meself, would lambaste, insinuate or challenge the views, comments, observations, or elucidations of such a perfectly formed personage as your dashingly pulchritudinous, athletically supreme, and praiseworthy personage as yourself, is mind-boggling! I'll put the kettle on now and take another tablet... Hehehe! 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought the GP said "It's about time I sorted out your medication!" Though thinkin' about it, she might have said 'cremation'. Me earin' aids need decoking agen. Tsk! Hehehe... Kettle on agen!

bazza 71 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Nobody has mentioned sine and cosine.Invaluable if you have to work out values of triangulation. Baz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephenFord 866 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Well, not in so many words - but the SOH and CAH of sohcahtoa were Sine = Opposite/Hypotenuse and Cosine = Adjacent/Hypotenuse, so they were implied in the "Some Old Hedgehogs..." and "Selly Oak Hospital..."

StephenFord 866 Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 For us it was BODMAS - the sequence in which you solved bits of the problem in long equations (someone will correct me and say what the exact mathematical significance was/is). It was Brackets, Of, Divide, Multiply, Add, Subtract. - so there! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
