AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding free online resources for pre-calculus exercises with answers and solutions, particularly for an adult education course transitioning to calculus. A suggested site, Math Worksheets Center, was deemed promising but ultimately not free, prompting a request for alternatives. MIT's OpenCourseWare was mentioned as a valuable resource for calculus, although it doesn't directly address pre-calculus needs. Bill Chen's Elementary Mathematics Notes were also referenced as potentially useful materials. The conversation highlights the challenge of accessing quality educational resources without cost.

I'm doing an adult-education course this semester which aims to take the student from pre-calc to calc in 18 weeks.

The materials on offer at the course (for which I only have 3 contact hours a week) seem pretty slight to me.

Does anyone know of a good online source of exercises and worksheets with answers and worked solutions in pre-calc

This might be a good site. http://www.mathworksheetscenter.com/mathskills/precalculus/

Had a look and it seemed promising until I saw the cash register.
Sorry, should have stipulated "free" sites; I'm spoilt by Linux.

Thanks anyway.

This won't really help for precalc, but when you start getting into calculus, definitely take a look at MIT's OpenCourseWare. Many of their courses have free video lectures, assignments, and exams.

Thread 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
