About
Welcome! In this series we'll start with the very basics of triangles and end with advanced trigonometry! Are you ready?
We'll cover:
-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
-Angle Addition Identities
-(other) Trigonometric Identities
Each session will be about an hour to an hour and a half and we'll end each session with a Quizziz (game). Catch-up sessions are always available, just ask! Everything is organized in a google sites (homework, resources, slides, etc.)
Pre-requisite: Pre-Algebra; Algebra and Geometry in general are also useful and recommended, but not required.
YOU CAN ALWAYS JOIN AFTER THE SERIES HAS BEGUN!
Tutored by
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.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY
Optional, but concepts grow off one another, so if you can't make it just let me know and we can have a catch-up session if you want. Hope to see you soon!

Hey guys,
Today we're going to learn the trigonometric ratios (SOHCAHTOA), reciprocal ratios, and build some intuition around them (it would be helpful to know about Similarity beforehand). We'll find the lengths of missing sides of right triangles, learn about complementary angles, and do some other practice.
As always, catch-up sessions are available.

Hey guys, today we're going to go over the law of sines and cosines (and their proofs) to find the missing sides of arbitrary triangles (and provide some more intuition to some congruence theorems using these laws)

Hey guys, today we're going to be plotting the values of trigonometric functions that we derived using the unit circle onto a graph; then we'll play around with inverse functions and make the trigonometric functions invertible (For background knowledge on making functions invertible, go to https://www.khanacademy.org/math/precalculus/x9e81a4f98389efdf:composite/x9e81a4f98389efdf:invertible/a/intro-to-invertible-functions). We'll also determine the domain and range of these inverse functions and see their graphs as well.

Hey guys, today we're going to take a look at the features of sinusoidal (sine and cosine) functions today: amplitude, period, midline, and phase shift, and how each of these features corresponds to a different part of the sinusoidal equation af(b(x+c))+d, where f is either sin or cosine.
