Comments and Feedback
The Constants and Equations Pages are an on-going project to list
together as many different constants and equations as possible, although it has now grown beyond this and now consists of much, much more than just constants and equations! Obviously, this would be
impossible for one person to do, so there is the opportunity for visitors to the site to
submit any constant or equation which you feel should be here and isn't. Hopefully, the site will grow quickly
on the back of submissions from you.
The site was first released to the world on the 21st November 1997, and has been very successful, receiving in excess of 10,000,000 hits in the first 2 and a half years. The plans for the future development of the site include finishing all the things which I have started (periodic table, conversions page) and also adding other things such as descriptions about some of the more commonly used equations and constants, and possibly a few pages about how to do some 'exciting' maths things such as calculus and geometry. I hope that you find this site as useful as I have found it extremely enlightening and interesting to compile.
Development of the site took place on a Acorn RiscPC computer, fitted with a 233MHz StrongARM processor, 133MHz Cyrix 586 second processor, 64Mb RAM and 16Gb hard disc. I used a program called !Formulix to create the equations which are stored as images, !Draw to design the graphics with !InterGIF to translate them into GIF format. The HTML code was written using the text editor !Zap (thanks go to Dominic Symes for this program) - no fancy web design programs as I can't get on with them at all!
You can now download the whole site; have a look here to find out some more.

"I have been looking for this type of page for a while. This type of information is not easily found in this town."

"Thanks for the help your site gave me in designing a mural for my daughter's school's 'Mathstravaganza' night. I found lots of cool equations and symbols ... none of which I understand but they make terrific graphics!"
