My Question relates to Commercial Computer- or AI-assisted Math learning programs

Can anyone recommend a competitor to ALEKS, which I used to use but gave up on when they revamped the lay out
(besides which, I have reason to believe that ALEKS may not be best value in town)

Hello to everyone on my friend list!
I'm back to have my bi-decennial crack at math mastery.
This time I hope I have all the life "parameters" set to the right frequencies and who knows, maybe this will be "The Beginning of Infinity"** in terms of a continuous learning curve for me.

Hope you are all flourishingly, swimmingly well !

** Book title by David Deutsche about the reach of scientific explanations; a defence of "scienticism", in its pure, non-pejorative use, ie: a robust confidence in the power and reach of science and a concommitant denigration of spurious "alternative ways of knowing"
A book I barely understand but keep reading in the hope that one day I will have a breakthrough (like with maths)

Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'

Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...

Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'

Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
