We need an example section to help show people how to find values on their own. I recommend each equation have at least one working example. After all, the cheat sheet is in the tutorials section itself. [[User:Inigmatus|Inigmatus]] ([[User talk:Inigmatus|talk]]) 12:33, 3 July 2013 (CDT)

::The simplified versions are used to translate the equation into plaintext format from which then the written examples are drafted from. Basically, they provide a single line of copy-able text that one can then paste into the forum or a chat window to answer questions. So yes, I think they're useful.

Tutorial:Advanced Rocket Design?

Doesn't Tutorial:Advanced Rocket Design cover this already? — xZise [talk] 11:20, 25 June 2013 (CDT)

This is supposed to be a cheat sheet where everything is described shortly for quick reference. That is not currently the case though and would require some shortening. BTW, I'm <math>ing the formulas at the moment. --dgelessus (talk · logs) 11:53, 25 June 2013 (CDT)
I've now radically shortened the article. Obviously lots of information was removed, but most of it were just explanations, which really go under tutorials. It should now be more of a cheat sheet. --dgelessus (talk · logs) 10:09, 28 June 2013 (CDT)

Examples

We need an example section to help show people how to find values on their own. I recommend each equation have at least one working example. After all, the cheat sheet is in the tutorials section itself. Inigmatus (talk) 12:33, 3 July 2013 (CDT)

The simplified versions are used to translate the equation into plaintext format which is easier to copy and paste. The plaintext format is also the format used to present the following examples.
