My 17 yr old son started College Trigonometry this week. I am so glad that he enjoys math so much. It has always been one of his favorite subjects which is great since as of now his plans are to go into an engineering field, so the more math that he has is all the better. When he finishes Trig he will have 3 more college credits, 12 that will be math credits.
Here is a great Trigonometry site for anyone interested. http://www.clarku.edu/~djoyce/trig/
A little tid-bit of info to help in Trig. Remember SOH CAH TOA.
Sine sin =opposite/hypotenuse (SOH)
Cosine cos=adjacent/hypotenuse (CAH)
Tangent tan=opposite/adjacent (TOA)
Just remembering that will help so much :0)
I am enjoying the fact that he is able to complete subjects for college at home. It is saving time because he can finish a subject in less time and is also a huge money saver. Which is a big plus!
Great post. I was going to write something similar. Will check this blog more often I think.
