Title: Math-Hammer: Maths for Wargamers
Post by: Jubal on May 09, 2011, 05:15:02 PM

I've been writing a series of articles for the A Call To Arms e-zine on a maths from a gaming perspective: I'll make a compilation thread here in case anyone wants a look. I've dotted around quite a bit, most of this stuff is AS Level (so not pips easy, but not too difficult either).

Does time go slowly around you? You seem to get more done in a night than a normal human being would in a week.

I'll have to agree with that one  ;)

He's probably trying to achieve a superhuman state of mind through tons of different activities ...

Imagine a Superhuman mind, though would he have a massive head?
