Appendix: MATHCAD Program for Intervisibility, by Thomas Riddle Enter the function as f(x) f( x) cos(p.x) Identify the size (n) by define variables i and j. i 0. 100 j 0. 100 Partition y into n intervals. y i i 100 F i f y Calculate functional values for each y. i s i ,j F j F i j i 100 Calculate a line-of-sight between points in the interval k 0. 99 Create an index variable k of size (n-1) Calculate the secant distance a k 1 F k 1 F k 2 .012 Define a-sub zero to equal 0. a 0 0 The following program is the LOS(S) algorithm. C is a m x n matrix and "arc" is a summed distance until the first non-intervisible location. These arc lengths are then plotted overlayed with the function.

This is a plot of the intervisibility curve overlayed on the function. The function is the solid curve and the intervisibility is the dashed curve. This is the plot of the function |cospx|.
