I don't know how you managed that, but I get 1.044630 from my trusty HP
11C calculator.  This value is the ratio from one output step to the next,
so it should be a little larger than 1.  This should give you a reasonable
table most of the way, but you will probably end up with roundoff error by
the time you get to the end.

Actually, Josh, this is basic high school math.  Unless you actually are a
high school student and haven't gotten to logarithms and exponentials yet,
you have no business trying to be an engineer.  How old are you?  What
kind of education have you had?

I suggest you learn about logarithms and exponentials before proceeding.
You might want to learn a bit about C or some other high level programming
language while you're at it.  As long as you know one of them reasonably
well, you can look at code written in another language and usually figure
out what it's doing.  C is actually one of the harder ones to guess at if
you're not familiar with it.  You would probably have an easier time
trying to understand the algorithm from the Pascal I sent.
