"Information Pages Worth Keeping or Developing" rough draft

Forenote to posters: It would be much appriciated if you would not post on this thread. This will help to keep the thread nice and organized. If you would like something to be added to this thread please message me and I'll be happy to add it!

 

Hello! You have reached the “Information Pages Worth Keeping or Developing” page. This page is a list posts that have explained things well and are good to look back at for future posts. This page is also meant for different pages on the website that are “worth developing” or can be elaborated on.

I redid this to try to make it easier to access/refer back to. Here is the original post by Melody: http://web2.0calc.com/questions/information-pages-worth-keeping-or-developing

This page is broken down into different sections as to try to make it easier to refer back to. For the most part, the topics are organized by “grade levels” of mathematics (like Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, etc.)

Remember, good manners are always important and very much appreciated!

Without further a due, let’s dive right  in!

Reinout discovered how to use the web2 calc for different thinga in physics like electron mass/atomic mass. Read about it here:

Reinout_g says he likes this site for their variety of  explanations of various topics, (everything from percentages to pythagoras’ theorem!) and for the fact that you don’t usually need any pre-requiring knowledge. He also likes how they have clear explanations that are never “dry.” Melody also recommends this page, and I have to agree with them, this is a nice math resource.
