So I was reading the local computer magazine, called ComputerEdge, dated February 23rd over lunch today. Had a lot of articles about GPS, applications, new devices, etc. As I was reading one article I read the following, "Using some fancy-schmancy mathematical hocus-pocus, a GPS receiver can determine location, speed of movement, and direction."
WHAT?!?
Not only as an engineer am I insulted, but I think anybody who has ever taken a college level calculus class should be insulted too. No wonder the educational system in our country, especially in math and science is so poor. When a computer magazine, albiet it's often light in the technical details, makes a statement like that . . . I should write a letter to the editor.
