(...) Except for anything directly targeted as feedback to LEGO Direct, it's probably time to migrate the discussion to .off-topic.geek. --Todd (24 years ago, 18-Jan-01, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

Does anyone know of a free web space provider that allows users to upload their own perl cgi scripts? Or does anyone have some space they can let me borrow while I test the scripts I'm writing?

(...) Well, that changes everything, yes. (...) If cos(x/51.5) is close, then you are in radians (Shiri already correctly explained where the 1.11 came from, and she's correct if your wavelength of 324 is in degrees. If it's in radians then you have (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Yep! It's measured from the baseline to a peak (or a valley). (...) <grin> the term for that is half a wavelength, or Crest to Trough. Something like that. (A wavelength is measured from peak to peak, so peak to valley is 1/2 of it). (...) Yes (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Doh! I was trying to be so careful! I thought amplitude was the "height" from high to low--is it actually half that? At any rate, I meant to write the min occurs at y=60, so that the high points occur along the line y=180 and the low points (...) (24 years ago, 16-Jan-01, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) I'm a little rusty myself, but there are bits and pieces here that don't quite add up, I think.

I'm working on something that's taxing my limited knowledge of trig functions, so forgive me if my terminology is a little messed up: I need to graph a sine function with a wavelength of 324 and an amplitude of 120 passing through point (0,180) at a (...)
