Inner city snail, a slow-moving street art project by Slinkachu

Smith chart which shows how the complex impedance of a transmission line varies along its length
Before the days of calculators and computers, Nomograms (or Nomographs) were often used to approximately calculate values of a function. There are specific nomographs for specific applications and all of them will only give approximate answers (since accuracy is dependent on the precision of the drawing itself). Invented by French mathematicians Massau and M. P. Ocagne in 1889, the precision, geometry and symmetry involved in the graphics of Nomography can produce some beautiful ‘visualizations’ like the Smith Chart above.

Hello

Most folks who visit random notes seem to hang around for about 9.545 minutes on average.

My name is and I just learned that the hash sign is also known as an octothorp. It's exactly this kind of unnecessary information works its way into conversations that scares people away from me. Not that I am really complaining though…
