Click For Summary
For beginners seeking math resources, engaging with a community focused on problem-solving is essential. Users are encouraged to post specific problems and share their thought processes to receive targeted assistance. The forum emphasizes understanding over simply obtaining answers, as true comprehension is crucial for success in math. While the approach may be slower, it fosters deeper learning and retention. This method contrasts sharply with unethical resources that do not promote genuine understanding.

Mathematics news on Phys.org
I have deleted the link you posted, as that website is diametrically opposed to the philosophy of Math Help Boards, and even, in my opinion, utterly unethical. May that website die a thousand deaths. That website will not help you understand math in any way. If you want to understand math, then you've come to the right place! What we do here is quite different. You post problems, at most two per thread, and you show us the progress you've made on them, as well as explaining exactly where you're stuck. Then we come along and help you get unstuck, just at that one place. We do not hand out answers to you, because that won't help you understand. Math simply isn't a spectator sport. You have to pull the weight yourself.

You'll realize this once you come to test-time, and you don't have the resources of the other website at your disposal. Our way is slower, admittedly (so make sure you're asking questions well in advance! We're all volunteers here.), but it will help you understand far better.
 

Thread 'Significant figures for inherently bound values'

I have been insisting to my statistics students that for probabilities, the rule is the number of significant figures is the number of digits past the leading zeros or leading nines. For example to give 4 significant figures for a probability: 0.000001234 and 0.99999991234 are the correct number of decimal places. That way the complementary probability can also be given to the same significant figures ( 0.999998766 and 0.00000008766 respectively). More generally if you have a value that...
