I got an idea for a series of parks after seeing a sign posted by the street somewhere.

How is the idea?
PS
A bonus to anyone who recognizes the second formula WITHOUT looking it up.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi257.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fhh240%2FRadicalOne%2FAnnunakiSmileys%2FVector_Smiley.png&hash=114c5818bedefab7ecadce8309e9d18b85634b83)
Why not, something interesting
I prefer the formule (1+5^1/2)/2 = 1.618 more appropriate for architecture ;)
Anyway wait to see what it could be in the game, try different lights than this flashy green ()stsfd()
the second one is the dilation of time, based on Einstein's theory of special relativity. I just looked it up to see what it is called in english because we learned it at school in french :-[ i didn't cheat :P
interesting idea for a sign :thumbsup:
I would do Schrodinger's equation, but the characters like Psi would make it impossible.
PS
I did three more - universal gravitation, an integral (calculus) expression, and an equilibrium constant for the ionization of Acetic acid.
These are the formulae: (Models not yet complete)

This is an interesting idea. Maybe the centrepiece of the 'maths' park could be a pool or sculpture based on the Fibonacci series ... :)
Neat Stuff. My defunct mayor diary was going to incorporate some historic equations/diagrams. My first mayor was named Euclid, and he went for many walks. As time went by people were going to discover a model that he did of how to bisect an angle. Oh well...
I think you should have general integration rules instead of a definite integral.
As simplicity is beauty, at least in mathematics, I would propose something very simple, but still very important:
a2 + b2 = c2
Something like a right triangle or this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pythagorean.svg) could be added to make this look very neat and beautiful.

I LOVE that idea. Or perhaps something founded on Pascal's triangle?(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi257.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fhh240%2FRadicalOne%2FAnnunakiSmileys%2FVector_WideEyed.png&hash=85e9f0ac2fb734a35d68a50c1669150b30932b81)
Just one problem - how would I do that? I am an engineer, not a mathematician.

For that function, for polynomials in general, or something else?

I like that idea...with one modification. Pythagoras' theorem is incomplete, as it is restricted to only right triangles. We need the correction factor of -abcosθ, thus making it what is commonly called the "cosine law".
EDIT: Oh, wait. Greek letters would be impossible to model. Damn. The root of the sum of the squares it is.(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi257.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fhh240%2FRadicalOne%2FAnnunakiSmileys%2FVector_Wink_tonguefix2.png&hash=82d835c76e7c2a5b574ca518200869b810b82372)

A power rule would be enough, but maybe you could help me with homework if you threw some "u" substitutions and trigonometric functions in there :). I just mean to say that variables are cooler than integers.

Well, I am not doing your homework for you - (https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi257.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fhh240%2FRadicalOne%2FAnnunakiSmileys%2FVector_Smiley.png%3Ft%3D1260054264&hash=8987390fce46d41a62a62f0fdf7fda5a66121449) - but sure, some trig might be fun.

Hey, while we are at it; A limit of a Riemann sum? Quantum electrodynamics? Static Equilibrium? Wavelength & diffraction calculations? An inverse of a 6x6 matrix? Orbital calculations of comet 245-23-177?

EDIT:
The integral is a whopping 12 tiles long!
