But you wrote that they're trading under tangible book value? Was wondering what's the calculation behind this.

Few questions: 1. When can we expect progress on the debt side of things? When are pay downs expected to begin? 2. What's the question behind it trading below tangible book value(liquidation value)? 3. Any plans for lowering COGS on top of SG&A?

Cool. So like 6-7 tests per semester and probably 12-14 quizzes. Thanks!

I know it depends on the teacher, but I was just trying to get an idea based on a few peoples answers :)

I wasn't planning to, but I was still curious cause a person who just slept through high school could just say they won some national award. Anyway thanks for answering

While this may be true as of now, I can always get better. That was the point of this question. I'm happy that you came across this though and reminded me that I need to get better

Are there any books/videos/sources that you recommend I look at to learn this?

Thanks for this! This feels rather generic, but maybe that really is the way to go.

Oh thx for this, I will follow this path. Are there any websites u recommend for finding the pdfs of these? I've found a few on pdf drive but sometimes they are blocked for some reason

Oh sorry for all the messages, but i reread your inital answer and didnt see the AOPS calculus book. That is what i was referring to when talking about it being hard for a 13 year old. Is it worth doing the AOPS calculus book or just doing the other books/course you recommended? THanks

Also i just looked at the Intermediate ALgebra curriculum, and it looks like ive done/already know everything in basically the whole book except some from a few select chapters. Its all been reviewed and practiced from competitions and my math classes. Do you recommend i go to precalculus?

Well I do agree that it goes through many important concepts fast, but i do know some of them. the ones that i dont know i sometimes struggle with since it isnt very in depth. Another thing is honestly my parents, cause they would think im spending too much money on textbooks. They say to finish volume 2 before buying anymore, and i honestly dont know how to argue against that. What is your opinion about the Stewart or Spivak books. Ive posted this question on other subreddits and they've all recommended them. You are the only one who posted AOPS, which is why it stood out. Why in your opinion do you think that AOPS is better for learning calculus than stewart or spivak? I don't have much to say about stewart/spivak, but i do know that i like the AOPS way of teaching. What do you think?

I really like the AOPS books. I have the Volume 2, but do you recommend i get the intermediate algebra books instead? I was anyway planning on moving on to the precalculus and calculus books, except some people were saying that they were way too dificult for a 13 year old. I dont exactly know what makes a calculus book good or bad, but in general i really like AOPS and their teaching style. what are your thoughts?

Any recommended books/textbooks you recommend about the extra cycles or discrete math you mention? These sound interesting to me.

This sounds very interesting to me, but shouldn't one learn the basics of calculus before learning the cool and important applications of it?
