Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around sharing chapter test questions from the David Cohen Precalculus With Unit Circle Trigonometry textbook, focusing on how to effectively post these questions in a forum setting. The conversation touches on the use of $\LaTeX$ for formatting and readability, as well as the challenges faced by users without access to a computer.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Technical explanation
  • Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses a desire to share precalculus chapter test questions and seeks guidance on where to post them on the forum.
  • Another participant suggests that using $\LaTeX$ would enhance the readability of the posts, emphasizing its importance for the benefit of other readers.
  • A participant mentions their unfamiliarity with $\LaTeX$ and lack of access to a computer, raising concerns about posting format.
  • Some participants point out that tutorials and tools are available for generating $\LaTeX$ code, indicating that it may be possible to use it on mobile devices.
  • There is a suggestion that if posting $\LaTeX$ is not feasible, plain text can be used instead, with a willingness from some to edit posts for better formatting when possible.
  • It is noted that not all questions necessarily require $\LaTeX$ for clarity, particularly word problems.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the importance of readability in posts, but there is disagreement regarding the necessity of using $\LaTeX$, especially for users without access to a computer or those unfamiliar with it. The discussion remains unresolved on the best approach for posting questions.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include the varying levels of familiarity with $\LaTeX$ among participants and the potential restrictions based on device capabilities for posting formatted content.

I would like to share chapter test questions from the David Cohen Precalculus With Unit Circle Trigonometry textbook (3rd Edition) as extra practice for anyone who may be interested. Where in this website can I post precalculus chapter test questions?

You can post them here in this forum. One thing though, if these posts are to be a valuable asset for other readers, they should be done using $\LaTeX$ for maximum readability. :D

I am not familiar with LaTex. I do not have a computer.

There are quite a few good tutorials online and here at MHB. We also have tools in place to help generate $\LaTeX$ code, and preview it live.

I don't think you have to have a laptop/PC to use $\LaTeX$. It likely depends on your mobile device, and I don't use those so I'm really not the one to be commenting on that...I just know others here use mobile devices and post $\LaTeX$.
 
If your device simply will not allow you to post $\LaTeX$, then as far as I'm concerned you can use plain text. I may, as I have time, edit your posts to use $\LaTeX$ (but I can't make any definite promises on that). :D

Not all questions require LaTex for easy reading. For example, most word problems need no LaTex.
