divide

Let integer \(a,b \in \mathbb{Z}\), where \(b \neq 0\). We say \(b\) divides \(a\) (i.e. \(b|a\)) if there’s some \(m \in \mathbb{Z}\) such that \(a = bm\).

additional information

division algorithm

Let \(a,b \in \mathbb{Z}\), \(b > 0\). Then, there exists, uniquely, some \(q,r \in \mathbb{Z}\) such that \(a = bq + r\) with \(0 \leq r <b\).

“division with remainder”

You will note that, if \(a < b\), we can just say \(q = 0\).

Divide by \(2\pi\), or, how I learned to start worrying and hate Fourier Transforms.

Hello all. Good news first: our frequency theory is now correctly validated by data.

If you want a band-aid for the answer, here it is: divide everything we get out of the cantilever equations by \(2\pi\); then, use the correct linear mass density: our Google sheets was off by a factor of almost \(4\) because of later-corrected apparent measurement error.

    • How does a new engineer get set up?
  • General overview of how things are laid out, with links to wiki pages with details

Wiki

  • In-depth explanation of subsystems and modules
  • Separate pages for each subsystem
  • Include decisions of their design decisions
  • Discussions of why systems are not designed differently

UI/UX Spec

  • How do we know what the software is supposed to do?
  • Varying levels of resolution
    • User stories
    • All the way up to granular details of UI elements

Don’t forgot to document defaults!
