Is there a need to make the math easier?
This is what we have microprocessors for.
Thanks for the "hanging bridge" explanation. It would be nice if
someone had a time-nuts-glossary that included various terms that
come up on the list, like "hanging bridge", "spurs", "sawtooth
correction", "GPS allan ski jump", etc.
Is there a time-nuts FAQ?
