Best Way To Teach Oneself Math?
An anonymous reader writes "In high school I failed two out of three years of math classes and eventually dropped out of school completely. I earned my general equivalency diploma as soon as was legally possible and from there went on to college and beyond. That was many years ago and my most basic algebra, trigonometry, and geometry skills are slipping away at an alarming rate. I'm looking for a self-guided course covering the equivalent of 4 years of high school mathematics including calculus. My math skills are holding me back. How can I turn this around?"
Yup, great source for math. All sort of interesting facts, like the fact Pi=3.
I still have more fans than freaks. WTF is wrong with you people?
Not to attack what you said in any way, but FOIL has always been a pet peeve of mine. It doesn't extend to multiplying a pair of trinomials for instance. I wish the textbooks would get away from that type of silliness and call it what it is: another application of the distributive property, with which the student should already be familiar.
I'm not saying this is necessarily the case, but perhaps it's possible that using IIS indicates a certain type of web management that is less conducive to standards-based web design?
Just a thought.
You are welcome on my lawn.
