    Ahh, I remember trig. The only reason I didn't stab my eyes out in that class is because my teacher was all kinds of awesome. He spoke math and I understood it. Plus, he looked like Dean Stockwell, which was pretty amusing (for those of us who grew up watching Quantum Leap!). If I had any other teacher, trig would have kicked my butt since I'm about as mathematically inclined as a rock. Definitely keep working with your tutor if your teacher is unhelpful.

    I didn't have any problems with trig, and I didn't have any problems with calculus. But I never could remember all the formulas for integrals on the trig functions.

    Don't worry Hooah, lot of people have problems with it. I hate it too (I cannot stand any math, for that matter - it is just that I loathe some topic more than others), although not as badly as geometry or calculus. Nor is it easy, but it is solveable, especially with a Ti-84 Plus. Do not forget about www.mathway.com either - very useful site.

    Ugh. The only advanced math I like is statistics. The way I figure it if you have to start using letters it has ceased to become math.
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
