I Resource help for co-ordinate geometry

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding free resources for studying coordinate geometry, emphasizing a desire for materials that explain the logic behind concepts from the basics to a college level. A suggested resource is the OpenStax Algebra and Trigonometry textbook, particularly chapters focused on foundational topics. However, the original poster seeks more targeted content on graphs, equations, and their derivations, starting from fundamental concepts like straight lines. Additional resources from OpenStax are mentioned, but the poster expresses concern about the breadth of prerequisites in those materials. Overall, the thread highlights the need for accessible, focused learning tools in coordinate geometry.

TL;DR Summary
Can someone provide me with some free resources (classes, books, notes anything) for co-ordinator geometry?
Can someone provide me with some free resources (classes, books, notes, sites anything) for co-ordinator geometry?
I want to study it from the basics while understanding the logic of every step and build upto start of collage level.
Note ; non free resources are welcome too, but free resources would be preferred
Thankyou in advance

Have you thought about something like this (esp. chapters 7,9ff.)?

While this is usefull, this isn't exactly what I'm looking for. I need something that's more focused on the graphs and equations of graphs, how they're derived, the calculations, applications etc. Starting from the basics like stright lines and dots and all.

That would be the chapters at the beginning, e.g. chapter 2 and 3.
Other books are here: https://openstax.org/subjects/math

I don't think you can get more basic than these.

What I meant wasn't that it's too advanced. It's like stretched out over a whole bunch of pre requisites and side topics which makes it harder to cover during a short amount of time. Well it's fine, I'll look it up.
Thanks for the link, looks very usefull.
 
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...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
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...
