I'm slow of the mark....never had geometry or any class that would familiarize me with trig functions. In High School I took Algebra 1 and thats it as far as math. I suppose you had Algebra 1 nocked off by the seventh grade? As a result I'm starting College level mathematics at the bottom of the heap...It also took me five years after high school to wise ...[text shortened]... i can analyze some of the solution, but some things in there remain unstudied to this point...
Secret to learn mathematics is: never try to understand something complex if you don't understand the basics. It's literally a castle that starts with the foundations. It's better to lose sometime relearning the basics . I'm sure you'll do just fine!

[b]Also, the function described in the above post is indeed incredible. I've made my girlfriend memorise it.

My old Analysis lecturer would always mark us down for writing ln for "log to the base e". He told us that,
"I had a girlfriend once who was a physicist. She used to write ln for log to the base e. We broke up. That wasn't why.
Well, maybe it was a little bit."
