Inertial Navigation System - what do I need?

[Jim Stewart]

No and No.


You need a lot more then that.


Yes and No.


You got to account for the gravitation and the rotation of the Earth, as
well as for the tide force from the Moon.


Crap, Yes.


As simple as that.

Eh? The only vaguely mathematical thing I saw on that page is a talking
calculator, which if anything is arithmetic rather than mathematics.

I guess you'd have to see some representative shows. It's kind of like
"stealth education" - these kids go on adventures and have to solve
problems along the way to get to the goal. So they sit down and figure
stuff out, and I suppose the kid (viewer) is supposed to solve it
along with them. They ask each other leading questions and stuff.

It's probably for pre-schoolers, but my inner child likes it.

And they have a variety of problems, from math to physics (the angle
of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection), tesselation, and
stuff that's within a kid's grasp.

Cheers!
