This week has been a grind. Parabolas have probably been the toughest subject for me to understand in the 17 weeks I’ve been working at this. As I write this, I wouldn’t have thought quadratic equations would be that much more difficult than linear equations but at this point I find them to be much,… Read More Week 17 – A 100% on the Hardest Test Yet

Before sitting down to write this post I assumed I’d be starting it off saying something along the lines of “Week 16 was one of my least productive weeks so far.” My hope was to get at least ~75% of the way through Quadratics Functions & Equations but at this point I am closer to… Read More Week 16 – Fifteen Pages of Progress

This weeks unit, Quadratics: Multiplying & Factoring, was once again a great refresher unit. Though I don’t feel like I understand quadratics and polynomials 100%, I now have a much better understanding of what they are and how to expand and/or factor them. As far as I know and as I’ve mentioned in a previous… Read More Week 15 – Fingers Qua-ssed!

Until this week I had only ever worked on linear equations which show up as a straight line when graphed. I had seen graphs with curved lines before but had never learned what equations produced those types of graphs. Working through the unit Exponential Growth & Decay this week, I finally got introduced to exponential… Read More Week 14 – Why Are Those Graphs Curved?

Initially, my goal was to get through every course on KA starting from Arithmetic and ending at Multivariable Calculus by February, 2020. I wanted to be able to apply to an undergrad program in one field or another that required a strong foundational understanding of math and, in order to apply for the following year,… Read More Week 13 – One Quarter of the Way There
