About six months ago I wrote this article, really only for my own benefit to get some ideas clear in my mind. However, it has been surprisingly popular. Nice to know people are interested in this sort of thing.

Implementing Mathematical Formulas in Python

Many of my articles include code which implements mathematical formulas, and as well as the Python code itself I usually include the formulas in traditional mathematical notation.

TIFO that you can have italic emojis. Not likely to change civilisation but there you go.

Stages in learning a new programming language:

1 This looks easy.

2 This is terrible! What sort of moron created this? I'm giving up.

3 Oh, actually, that makes perfect sense.

I often use radians rather than degrees in my articles to measure angles. So I don't have to explain every time for people not familiar with radians I have written a short article Radians: An Exploration in Python

I bought this book maybe 10 years ago and read bits here and there but have at last read it in full from beginning to end. I'm not going to claim I understood everything but overall it's very enlightening and I'm sure I'll dip into it again on occasions,

@looopTools That doesn't sound too bad if you're not expected to replicate exactly what you would type. It's just occurred to me that a lot of coding is about muscle memory and obviously typing and writing involves different muscle movements. (Might be a dumb theory but never mind!)

@beemdvp I know what you mean. It's as if the keyboard/mouse/screen is an integral part of the whole mindset which paper & pen just don't fit into.

Has anyone ever asked you to write code on paper at an interview? If so how did it go? What were your feelings on the process and people expecting you to do it?
