We will combine the pint, numpy and matplotlib libraries. https://cienciaprogramada.com/2020/09/python-units-beer-pint/ Tue, 01 Sep 2020 00:00:00 +0000 contato[@]cienciaprogramada.com.br (Francisco Bustamante) https://cienciaprogramada.com/2020/09/python-units-beer-pint/ Whenever we work with measurements and experimental data, we need to express our values with their respective units. In this article, we will see a Python library for working with units and what that has to do with beer. https://cienciaprogramada.com/2020/08/nasa-loses-millions-unit-errors/ Thu, 20 Aug 2020 00:00:00 +0000 contato[@]cienciaprogramada.com.br (Francisco Bustamante) https://cienciaprogramada.com/2020/08/nasa-loses-millions-unit-errors/ In this article we will see how NASA has lost multimillion-dollar projects to simple unit conversion errors. We will also see which system of units took humans to the Moon in the Apollo Program, by looking at the source code of the onboard computer. https://cienciaprogramada.com/2020/08/unit-conversion-error-plane/ Sat, 15 Aug 2020 00:00:00 +0000 contato[@]cienciaprogramada.com.br (Francisco Bustamante) https://cienciaprogramada.com/2020/08/unit-conversion-error-plane/ How can a plane run out of fuel at 12 km of altitude? Today’s article is about a Boeing that became a 100-ton-plus “glider” and how it all happened because of a simple unit conversion error.
