My life is miserable already first week into grade 12. This stupid book they have given is like Socrates, it asks questions but it only gives ugly pictures and more questions. The examples barely relate to the questions, and our Master Teacher only does examples. Of course I am not a brilliant person, but with raw courage I have achieved 86=% in my grade 11. I don't know what I am doing in that class.

Proof this that and the other. I feel like I am back in my grade 8 French class, I don't know foot from @$$. PLEASE HELP ME!

I learn by example, GUYS SUGGEST A BOOK FOR ME! Of course aimed at proofing with Analytic geometry. :cry:

Which specific topics are you having trouble with?
 
Thank you for the reply. :)

Well I am having problems with "proof with Analytic geometry". Also other type of number proofing. If you guys can or do know a book with lots of examples aimed at Discrete and Analytic geometry aimed at Grade 12 Please do post. A website would be good too
 

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...

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

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 'Imaginary Pythagorus'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
