    High School What makes the Fibonacci sequence and its related concepts golden?

    I've been curious about the Fibonacci sequence for quite a while now, so I decided to study it on my own. I noticed that you can get the sequence by adding the numbers on the pascal triangle diagonally, or by simply adding the number that precedes the next (0,1,1,2,3,5,8...). I then watched a...

    Is Independent Study Just as Good?

    Hey everyone! Unfortunately, I made myself a great mistake by taking a course in Ethics over the summer, and I felt as if I hardly learned anything at all because the course was paced too quickly for me to handle, which is why I passed it with a "C." I wanted to see if I could possibly...

    Preventing my Math skills from becoming rusty

    You know, that's just what I kept thinking to myself over the past few weeks! All I know about Calculus so far is the basics of limits (i.e. (f(x)= 1/x) y=0 as x→∞). Guess that means I should review polynomial factoring and division some more then. Should I also review partial fractions as...
