=== Mining Math ===

The majority of miners do not need to use complicated maths. There are usually only 3 or 4 ore types in the asteroid belts in your area and if simply mining for cash it is easy to get a rough idea as to which ore is best by simply mining one ore type until you fill your hold and check the value of the rocks before you empty your hold. Repeat with a different ore type and you will quickly work out which ore type is best to mine in your area. If you would rather challenge your brain, then you can read this: [[More Mining Maths]]

Like other parts of Eve, mining has some math in it. The basic reasons why you want to do the math when your mining is if you're away from keyboard (AFK) mining you will know the exact time down to the second that you need to be back to handle things. The math you will do will tell you how long it will take for your ship to fill up or how long will it take until what your mining will deplete. To do the math correctly you will need a survey scanner. Once your ship has a survey scanner on it, you will need to scan the near by gas, ice, asteroids, and anything else you can harvest. As soon as you find what you're looking for write down how many units you have before you start mining, and if you want to start mining now then write down your own local time at the time you hit the button to mine. Then right click on what you want to mine and press show info. Now go to the attributes' tab and write down the volume. This volume is how much volume one unit of what your mining will take on your ship. Next you will need the algebraic equation below.
