Suppose I have a triangle, in which I know the lengths of the three sides. I want to find the corresponding angles inside the triangles. Is there a quick and simple way to do that? I know that I can divide the triangle into two triangles with a 90° (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) No, what I meant, even if it didn't come through clearly, was that if I were to choose to spend $2800 on a computer (which I would not NEED to do, unless I wanted a true behemoth of a machine) I could put one together that would outperform, in (...)
