    Dahzito's Development Thread

    Yeah, the reason why is that Pade approximants are built from the taylor series I remember considering using it for a rocket science spreadsheet but the large amount of extra calculations (and the fact that the second derivative was hard to find) made me decide to not use it

    Dahzito's Development Thread

    Looking into it I think that's for Halley's irrational method (which he said he preffered) while Pade approximants are used for Halley's rational method

    The issue with approximanting the function with a parabola is that the parabola could have multiple zeros (so which do you choose?) or none at all. Pade approximants take into account the second derivative and always only have one zero (apart from special cases where the numerator is a constant...

    With Halley's method there's also a graphical interpretation of fitting a linear-linear Pade approximant to each point and seeing where it equals 0, the equation for that is much more complex I also saw your comment about this on Welch Lab's video on kepler's equation

    [BUGGED] Python Solar System Generator

    Quick question, does this generate random planets or do you put in parameters in for the planet to be generated?

    Ok, I'll take a look at this and say I used this of I do end up using it

    If I use this in a planet pack should I credit you?

    Delta-V map for SFS 1.5

    I think why this hasn't been updated is because orbits are elliptical the Delta-V requirements change (quite a bit in the case of Mercury)

    Open [Forum] Greater conversation sizes?

    If I remember correctly I think one of the OI ranks (It's either pilot or ace) that allows for larger conversation sizes

    Park run

    Damn, I have no idea what my 100m is but it's probably quite slow

    I picked up running as a sport in my school and I now have a 5k PB of 21:23

    why i am leaving

    Reading this I think your problem is that you're doing everything for external validation, doing things so people see what you've done and stuff. It's fine to do that but I feel that you'd be much more content if you did things for your own enjoyment, not for praise from everyone else I'm sorry...
