Notes & Tutorial on Radians

This tutorial explains clearly and intuitively what "pi" is, and how the radian angle measurement system works using the intrinsic properties of all circles. Students learn the natural advantages of this system in simplifying math formulas. The tutorial ends with two example problems computing arc length of angular displacements in both revolutions and degrees.

The Utter Power of Proportional Reasoning

Using proportional reasoning lets us find quantitative and qualitative answers to Physics and Math problems in a fast and easy way. This 4 page tutorial explains a three step process for approaching these problems, and also has 6 completely worked examples to help the student become a master at solving proportional reasoning problems. Great prep for the AP Physics and other standardized Physics exams.

Rosetta Stone #2: Uniform Accelerated Motion Graphs

This study aid connects four types of descriptions (Verbal, X-t graphs, V-t graphs, and Motion Maps) to various scenarios involving Uniform Accelerated Motion (UAM). Because the same motion is described in parallel in several different graphical "languages", it is likened to the Rosetta Stone, a key archeological discovery that unlocked the secrets of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.
