What the fuck am I doing here?
Everybody hates the TI-84. They're overpriced, they're incredibly basic, and they pale in comparison to the smartphones we can now use. Why do I love TI so much?
You see, in tenth grade, I was bored out of my mind. I was in Algebra, and I really hated math. Math, in my mind, was a topic I had to slog through, and the one thing keeping me from tuning out entirely was the Ti-84. Math was an excuse to use this machine, and I wandered and explored through the programming system.
Then I decided to make something I found useful. This was the orbital elements calculator I've posted here. When I started, I needed to learn a lot of orbital mechanics - something involving lots of math. I found the use of Math with this project, and I loved it. The combination of KSP, Math, and this calculator made me love all three.
