Explaining the Top 10 Most Misunderstood Math ConceptsHave you ever struggled with math and couldn't figure out why? You're not alone, and chances are it's probably not all your fault. After spending thousands of hours tutoring and teaching, I'm convinced that most students have problems because their books and their teachers aren't good at giving them explanations that are simple and clear.I have a different way of looking at learning. Instead of teaching straight from a textbook, I teach my students the way that I wish someone would've taught me. Sometimes it's not the problem, it's the way you look at it.I help you build an intuitive understanding by focusing on the fundamentals. I simplify complex topics by giving you clear explanations instead of just telling you the right answer. Believe it or not, my students tell me that their teachers don't do this.The goal of this book is to help clearly explain the most important concepts in math. If you can understand the tips I show you in this book, then you should have no problem handling high school classes like Algebra, Trigonometry, and Calculus.This book is a great guide for the C student who wants to get a B, and the B student who wants help getting an A.As a math teacher and tutor since 2006, I'm able to recognize the needs of students as well as the shortcomings of their teachers and their textbooks. I hope that this book will correct their mistakes and make math clearer and easier for you, once and for all.Improvements Made to the 1st Edition include: A hyperlinked Table of Contents with links to each section A Unit Circle graph with degrees and radians (Trig) Transformations and Translations of Trig functions (Trig) The Law of Sines and Law of Cosines formulas (Trig) Half-Angle formulas (Trig) Correction of the Sum-to-Product formula in the 1st edition (Trig) Angular Velocity formulas (Trig) The Sum of Cubes formula (Algebra II) Difference of Cubes formula (Algebra II) *The Power Rule for Derivatives (Calculus) Links to: A.
