About

Hey guys, wanna get ahead of the curve? Wanna catch-up or reinforce your skills? I'm hosting this series because I really enjoyed my Algebra 2 and Trigonometry series in the past and because of popular demand. 

In this series we'll cover:
-Polynomials (polynomial arithmetic, factoring, remainder and factor theorem, solving equations, features of graphs)
-Vectors
-Complex Numbers and Equations
-Rational Functions
-Exponents/Logarithms (Arithmetic, Algebra, and Graphs)
-Function Transformations
-Types of triangles,
- General Triangle Properties
-Circumcenter, Centroid, Altitudes, and Medians
-Triangular Pyramids and Prisms (and their brain bending properties :)
-Right Triangle Trigonometry (SOHCAHTOA, Complementary Angles, Reciprocal Trigonometric Ratios, etc.)
-Unit Circle and Trigonometric Identities/Values
-Radians and Degrees
-Trigonometric Functions
-Inverse Trigonometric Functions
-Sinusoidal Graphs/Equations
-Other Trigonometric Identities

A little about me: I'm about the biggest Indie fan there is, I almost exclusively watch (John Hughes>>) 80s movies or the upcoming Star Wars series, and I read sci-fi in my spare time. I tutor for the sake of those aha moments, and have taken Multivariable Calc, Linear Algebra, Real Analysis, and Complex Analysis. Who knows what I'll tutor next, hope to see you soon.
