Getting through this section has been the hardest thing I’ve thing… Read More Week 126 – Trigonometric Substitution Complete: A Huge Relief!

(Disclaimer: This was a very frustrating week and so I swear a lot in this post. In other posts I’ve written, I’ll often write a first draft which might include swear words but I’ll edit them out before I post it. I’ve decided to leave them in this week because 1) it paints a more… Read More Week 125 – Trigonometric Integrals: Fighting the God of Math

I only made it through 2 articles and 1 exercise this week from the unit Integration by Parts, but, just like last week, I’m actually fairly happy with the progress I made and what I was able to learn. I got a much stronger feel for how to use the integration by parts technique and came… Read More Week 124 – The Long Road to Understanding Integrals

For the first time in what feels like forever, I’m actually happy with the progress I made this week on KA. It took me three days but I finally got through the exercise in the section Trigonometric Substitution and was able to wrap my head around how this particular type of trig substitution works (with one frustrating… Read More Week 123 – Integrals: More Practice, More Progress

As I mentioned at the end of my last post, this week I took a break from the unit Integrals and worked through a section in the unit Integration… Read More Week 122 – Trigonometric Substitution: A Step in the Right Direction
