Trilateration
editHello 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
editI validated the algorithm this page presents on cylinders of various orientation. Highly recommend this get published on Wikipedia!
Cylinder Intersections (2)
editYour 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.
