Positive. It's the square root where you have to do the +/- stuff.

I'm figuring deviation. So, the latter is correct? Merci!

Best to go with your feelings on stuff like this.

Or flip a coin. Cant go wrong with that and I'll even draw a diagram of me doingit to 'show' my work. :LOL

Yep.

(+) x (+) = (+)
(+) x (-) = (-)
(-) x (+) = (-)
(-) x (-) = (+)

When you square a number, it's + regardless of whether it's + or -.

Well damn. Now a dozen USMB members are figuring square roots like crazy to see if you're right about that.

Keep an eye on this thread, I'll be back when I get to the ranking part.

How dare you do deviations without me ?

Only a dozen?



Based on the number of Total Geeks I've run into on USMB during the past 6 weeks, I'd have guessed SEVERAL dozen are checking the math.

Then there are the other's who are wondering when SP is going to post a source for his "outrageous assumption."

Well, I can add, subtract, multiply, divide, figure percentages and do simple algebra and geometry with pen and paper. But if you get any more complicated than that, they're all geeks to me.
