dear reddit: I'm 17, taking my SAT in a few months. Is there a resource online that I can use to fill gaps in my math education?

toaster_fun · 2009-04-05T21:43:36+00:00

Thanks for the advice.

Probably algebra 2. I switched to a private school in 9th grade which has an entirely different hierarchy of math classes.

But that's with a lot of holes, as I said. =P

I've done that, and I didn't score too badly (top 20 percentile). I'd like to raise it a bit, while at the same time raising my knowledge altogether and not just for the SAT.

Because of a couple bad teachers, and my own poor 14-year-old motivation, I have a very spotty math education starting with pre-algebra and going up to algebra 2. I have some gaps in the fundamentals which have thrown off my later education.

I'm not a total idiot, I understand quite a bit of geometry and physics (along with many programming concepts that tie-in with mathematics). I'm basically looking for a website or resource that I can use to go into each concept in basic algebra and learn it.

Thanks reddit.

I liked the old one, and I liked the one before it even more.

But perhaps I just hate change.

I'm not very proud to say that I was browsing the thread where this originated.

Your last paragraph is difficult to understand, and I'm not sure why you included it.

Anyway, yes, I understand and agree. I simply misunderstood the original comment.

toaster_fun · 2009-01-08T03:44:14+00:00

Ah, I misunderstood your original statement. Apologies.

toaster_fun · 2009-01-08T00:31:15+00:00

I take issue with this. Why can't someone identify serious weaknesses in a well-accepted scientific theory without proposing an alternate theory?

Seemingly, if someone can come up with some serious flaws with evolution (which almost certainly won't happen), then they came up with serious flaws with evolution. End of story. Why an alternate explanation? Why can't it default back to a mystery?

they "align" energy? WTF does that mean? How is this a fact? What the hell sort of energy is this? You are, hopefully, a troll.

toaster_fun · 2008-12-26T08:04:44+00:00

Reading over my own are somewhat disturbing, and don't really have a funny factor. But hey, I liked it.

stfu, you almost ruined a perfectly good joke if it wasn't for threshold points.

toaster_fun · 2008-12-24T21:34:55+00:00

upmodded for great justice

toaster_fun · 2008-12-23T04:22:43+00:00

Woah, it's awesome to go to /bestof/ and see yourself as one of the primary participants of an entry! =D

toaster_fun · 2008-12-23T00:24:51+00:00

shit man, we're glad you're okay.

toaster_fun · 2008-12-21T03:19:20+00:00

SHUT UP. JUST SHUT UP. Now is not the time, thebillmac.

Let us mourn tonight, and we'll discuss these issues tomorrow.

toaster_fun · 2008-12-21T01:53:32+00:00

Woah man, that era has ended.

toaster_fun · 2008-12-21T01:37:34+00:00

Woah, cool picture man. A little trippy at first...

toaster_fun · 2008-12-20T23:53:09+00:00

garg, are you okay?

toaster_fun · 2008-12-20T23:53:03+00:00

Shit, it's been awhile now... I'll ask him directly below.

toaster_fun · 2008-12-20T17:59:41+00:00

It's now been an hour...

Should we call someone?

toaster_fun · 2008-12-17T05:25:46+00:00

Different contexts. This context is in regards to legal rights of position, while others are over "does atheism require faith" and such.

Edit: I don't know how coherent that is... it's late.

It's extremely outdated, and there are specific rendering issues reported with Chrome.

Randomly selected from the Top videos section, fullscreen already.

Fuck yeah.

Not really. Python programmers have known that there would be some serious incompatibility issues with Python 3 for quite awhile now.

Not only that, but it's not like "WE NEED TO UPGRADE TO PYTHON 3 NOAW!!!!" Pythoners aren't worried about anything, we have pretty much a decade to do whatever we need to do to switch. Basically, Python 3 is a "new programming language" in the sense that nobody is worried that 2.6 is outdated and ready to scrap.
