I’m feeling much better today. I studied for two hours and finished the trigonometry review exercises from the appendix of Stewart’s Single Variable Calculus. I still want to try a few of the applied problems in the OpenStax text Algebra and Trigonometry, though, so I haven’t quite finished with the topic. Once I do, I will be ready to move on to the main body of the calculus book. Very exciting. Yet I think I may pause after the first chapter (which contains more review) and focus on working through Analysis with an Introduction to Proof until I reach the point where it introduces limits, the first calculus concept in Single Variable Calculus. While I do that, I will keep developing my high school math skills by working on some of the competition problems provided on the Art of Problem Solving wiki.
(Expect another installment of Parabola-a-Go-Go tomorrow. I was working on it for tonight, but it was taking too long.)
Alternatively, while working through the analysis text, I may do a refresher in geometry. Geometry is not covered by the review materials accompanying Stewart’s calculus, but I may find it useful when tutoring in the future.
keep galloping ahead!
