ORIGIN

In my entire life, I only wrote once Mathcad-sheet with ORIGIN not 0 and not 1.

Questions.

1. Do you have own Mathcad-sheet with ORIGIN not 0 or 1?

---

Do you know how many worksheets I've written?   Neither do I.  😀   I haven't a clue whether I've used any other ORIGIN. 

2.  What ORIGIN was in my Mathcad-sheet?

---

The same as your question number!

3.  What is it this my Mathcad-sheet? You can find it here 2⁵ Problems for STEM Education - 1st Edition - Valery Ochkov - Rout (routledge.com)

I only know because it was the first time I seriously thought about how to deal with arbitrary ORIGIN in Mathcad Express functional programming, including negative ORIGIN and stupidly large magnitude ORIGIN, and recently copied some functions from it in response to a comment from Luc.   I think it's the only time, as well.  I'll stick to using ORIGIN=0 like the Romans didn't intend us to use - that's another thing the Romans didn't do for us.  In fact, I was wondering how you'd mark an ORIGIN=0 clock in Roman numerals - N (as did Bede) or O (to bring them up to date) or ...?

Nice plug for the book, BTW.
