Not sure if this is the place for this or not but I can't seem to post in the precalc subforum. Anyone know what that's about?
If one is referring to the Learning Materials section, we do have restrictions on folks starting threads. Borek has pointed to the Precalculus Homework forum, which is the appropriate place for homework and similar questions on precalculus mathematics.Sainguin said:Not sure if this is the place for this or not but I can't seem to post in the precalc subforum.

Yes - folks are encouraged to provide others with assistance. Complete answers are not to be given.Sainguin said:Yea it was the Learning Materials section. I'm going to use the homework help one. Thanks for the help guys.
Another question real quick, is the homework subforum the place to ask if anyone is interested in tutoring?

Sainguin said:Definitely not for money. Just out of kindness lol. I dropped out of high school in tenth grade (various reasons, no need to get into it here) and I was never very good at math. I just need some help figuring out where I'm at with math and then help learning what I need to learn.
My main goal is to get to where I can understand the math behind most physics and astrophysics.
EDIT: I like the philosophy of not giving answers but helping students get to the answer. Very good way to teach.
