now that were all done playing with j...

don't forget

Z = sqrt{R^2 + [(wL) - (1/wC)]^2]}

and

Z(s) = R + Ls + 1/Cs

which is just plain easier to deal with 'til you need to journey back
into time domain land. no need to leave it f(t) for this deal, though.

all that j stuff... that was scary ****. so easy to make a mistake.

Especially so given the limited typography of this particular medium.
I suspect few of us would have a problem if we could only view these
formulae in a suitably appropriate typeface!!!

what pre tell, is a typeface that would make it hard? wing-dings?

i admit, even in HTML with arial or fixed-pitch, where you have sub and
super tags and greek letter codes, you can't do much. i tried a few free
math notation tools for HTML and wasn't happy. plus you need a plugin
for most if not all. W^3C has a standard. i'd like to see more math
capabiliies in browsers. we could attach formulae without violating the
no bianaries rule. of course microshaft and standards will probably
never be seen in the same line of code.

i still don't see why text based math legibility is font dependant. i
see i could have eliminated some clarifying parens by

does that also foul up?
