AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding free online resources for pre-calculus exercises with answers and solutions, particularly for an adult education course transitioning to calculus. A suggested site, Math Worksheets Center, was deemed promising but ultimately not free, prompting a request for alternatives. MIT's OpenCourseWare was mentioned as a valuable resource for calculus, although it doesn't directly address pre-calculus needs. Bill Chen's Elementary Mathematics Notes were also referenced as potentially useful materials. The conversation highlights the challenge of accessing quality educational resources without cost.

I'm doing an adult-education course this semester which aims to take the student from pre-calc to calc in 18 weeks.

The materials on offer at the course (for which I only have 3 contact hours a week) seem pretty slight to me.

Does anyone know of a good online source of exercises and worksheets with answers and worked solutions in pre-calc

This might be a good site. http://www.mathworksheetscenter.com/mathskills/precalculus/

Had a look and it seemed promising until I saw the cash register.
Sorry, should have stipulated "free" sites; I'm spoilt by Linux.

Thanks anyway.

This won't really help for precalc, but when you start getting into calculus, definitely take a look at MIT's OpenCourseWare. Many of their courses have free video lectures, assignments, and exams.

Thread 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...

Thread 'Six Pencil Puzzle'

Is it possible to arrange six pencils such that each one touches the other five? If so, how? This is an adaption of a Martin Gardner puzzle only I changed it from cigarettes to pencils and left out the clues because PF folks don’t need clues. From the book “My Best Mathematical and Logic Puzzles”. Dover, 1994.
