#12There's an old paper about the mathematics of nomograms that I found interested when I stumbled across it: https://doi.org/10.1016/0001-8708(65)90042-3

#13The Smith chart is the electrical engineer's favorite: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_chart
You either love it or hate it, depending on how well your electromagnetics class was taught.

#14The US Navy still uses nomograms for chemistry control on nuclear reactors!

#15Seriously, though, there's one nomogram you (yes you) should know about and have it well-enough engraved in your mind's eye that you can use it with eyes closed. A nomogram for Bayes' theorem: https://www.ovid.com/journals/nejm/abstract/10.1056/nejm1975...
Can you use actually use it eyes closed? Never heard of that level of precision in the mind's eye

#18I am fascinated with nomograms ever since I stumbled upon them.
I spent some time earlier this year creating one for two resistors in parallel. I had seen it in an old book [1] but it was of poor quality.
(I tried to get Gemini writing to write code to generate an SVG file—but it was pretty poor compared to the one that I had done by hand in Affinity Designer.)
