TV Refresh Rate Explained: 60Hz vs. 120Hz, 240Hz, and Beyond
If you're in the market for an HDTV, you've probably heard a lot about "speed."

Microsoft Mathematics

Ideal for anyone involved with mathematics, science, engineering, physics, and so on. So why do I say "used to sell"? Have they stopped producing it? No. They've merely stopped selling it, and are now giving it away! There's even a brand new version, 4,0, which was launched only last week
