Trilateration
[edit]Hello Nominal animal, your recent edit to the Preliminary computation section of the trilateration article appears to be a very good simplification. I plan to look at it a little more and then remove the old preliminary computation method. Thank you for a useful contribution. RHB100 (talk) 18:43, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
Cylinder Intersections
[edit]I validated the algorithm this page presents on cylinders of various orientation. Highly recommend this get published on Wikipedia!
Cylinder Intersections (2)
[edit]Your derivation of line/cylinder intersections was super helpful, and just what I was looking for. I sent a message to the email address on your web site. I'd like to help turn your notes into Wikipedia article. Please reply here, by email, or whatever.
I have done some randomized testing, and will soon have formal unit tests. I am happy to look up some citable sources.
