Optimising the oil residue-creating part of my turbofuel factory. This isnt super advanced math but still.

Why don't you just use a solver instead of doing linear programming with pencil and paper?

I think that suggestion about Matlab is silly, that's so overkill.

But, in case you ever run out of graph paper, consider Desmos, I use it a lot because it's simple:

Here's your graph on desmos

right? use calc-mode like a self-respecting unix geek.

Good suggestion (although that isnt my graph), i might use it next time

That when you get out python or Matlab, or if insanity beacons Fortran, or maybe even c++

ChatGPT, Gemini and alike are good in this. And before/still also WolframAlpha. They even display and explain the steps to you. You should still check if the results make sense, but my experience so far is very positive.

Same reason I still do mortar math on paper in games that actually have it matter. It's more fun that way, and I can do it faster than going to a website and plugging it in.

joy of accomplishment? :)
