Can you perform mathematical equations in UNIX?
Hello one and all,
I have a basic background in UNIX, but I was wondering if there is a way to perform simple mathematical equations (like multiplication, addition)? If so, is there a way to multiply values from a column by a value to produce a column with the answers?
I am working on a simple research project and in some data sets I have to get the the values of the velocity for a string of data...i.e.
data * (speed of light) = [desired answers]
5.7 * (299792458) = [1708817010.6]
6.8 = [2038588714.4]
7.3 = [2188484943.4]
5.1 = [1528941535.8]
Is there a simpler way to get my desired values besides find the values individually on my calculator? I would greatly appreciate any assistance.
