Newsci Roundup 4
Posted on July 7th, 2007- Can you answer these science questions? They're really basic, you know.
- Something hurting? Try Mayo Clinic's online Symptom Checker. Essentially a questionnaire, it has a database of the most common illnesses and associated symptoms. By matching your description of the symptoms to its data, it displays a list of the most common causes of these symptoms. Of course, this does not sub for going to a doctor. Let me repeat: if you're hurting, go to a doctor.
- A very useful resource: the online General Chemistry Glossary is exactly what it says it is. Never again be lost by the meaning of 'zero point energy'.
- We've talked about Pi before, but how do we calculate it to millions of digits accuracy? We use a formula, like Ramanujan's formula.
