I have a larger project that I'm working on. However, I have basically implemented a vector calculator to ensure that my vector class is funtioning properly.

I'm just checking to see if anyone would find a vector calculator useful, and if so, what functions would you like to see? (I have the stuff already written; it would just need a UI on top of it)

I'm referring to standard Mathematical Linear Algebra type vectors.

What I already have done:

the vectors will automatically convert between rectangular and spherical formats (not cylindrical, though, but this could easily be pulled from existing data).

I have a UI built for conversion as well as the dot product, though reflections, cross products, and matrix multiplication have been implemented in code.

Anyone interested? If so, I'll put together a simple user interface for the rest of these existing functions and post it.

YES! Vector code examples are always appreciated.

Someone will be interested at some point! If it's not too much extra work, I say throw it together and toss it on versiontracker for hapless calc & physics students to use.

Thanks for the offer. It happens that my first Linear Algebra class was tonight. (It has been 30 years since I last dealt with vectors.) I don't really want to take away from my learning experience, though.

If you want someone to try it out, I'll take a look at it, but I don't "need" it and if you have some better use for your time than adding the UI, I wouldn't want you to shift your priorities.

Maybe someone else will respond ...
