[edit] Page move

As per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (and examples like Gödel's incompleteness theorem), I'm going to move this page to Big sky theory soon. I'm placing this here so no-one is surprised.  — Saxifrage | ☎ 01:37, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] calculations

I like the inclusion of the calculations to give an idea of the probabilities of hitting a plane with anti-aircraft fire. I was trying to verify the math, but I was immediately struck by how hard it is to follow the notation: "20626 / 0.24 / 0.24". Most people would presume the slashes indicate division, but we might try something more formal here. Is there a way to make a better looking representation of the equations? This is kind of what I am referring to, but the tags/code to render that looks rather daunting. Even if the formating remains the same, there shouldn't be unitless values in the calculations since it leads to ambiguity like in 358,090 / 5 / 10 / 10. Without thinking about the math for yourself, you don't know whether the 10's are the rounds per second or the number of guns which are both set to 10. Dwr12 (talk) 00:53, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
