Algebra Trigonometry

Algebra Trigonometry Trigonometry is the branch of algebra II. Algebra trigonometry deals with all of the trigonometric ratios and these trigonometric ratios are very much useful when you are dealing with the triangles and the unit circles. There are three main trigonometric ratios which exist in trigonometry and they are sin, cos and tan. The other three ratios are the reciprocal of the main ratios which are csc, sec and cot. They are outlined below: - Cot x = 1/ tanx Sec x = 1/cos x Csc x = 1/ sinx There are few basic angle values that is needed to be remembered, they are 0 degrees, 30 degrees, 45 degrees, 60 degrees and 90 degrees. We have various trigonometric identities that are required to solve many of the trigonometric equations. We can see many examples of trigonometry in our day to day life. Following are the few examples which are based on the algebra trigonometry. Example 1: Find the value of tan 225 degrees. Solution : Given: - tan 225 degrees = tan (180 + 45) degrees = tan 45 degrees = 1 Hence the value of tan 225 degrees is 1. Example: Prove that (sinx + cosx)^2 = 1 + sin 2x Solution : - Given the left hand side as (sinx + cosx)^2 After expanding, we get sin^2 x + cos^2 x + 2sinx cos x = 1 + 2 sinx cosx [ sin^2 x + cos ^2 x = 1] = 1 + sin 2x [sin 2x = 2 sin x cos x]

My Experience at Columbia University

My Experience at Columbia University The tutors behind Varsity Tutors are not just here to teachtheyre sharing their college experiences as well. Benjamin is a Brooklyn tutor and 2015 graduate of Columbia University. He holds a Bachelors degree in Linguistics and tutors several subjects, including algebra tutoring, computer science tutoring, and writing tutoring. Check out what Benjamin had to say about his time at Columbia University: Describe the campus setting and transportation options. Benjamin: Columbia University has a decidedly urban campusafter all, its extended name is Columbia University in the City of New York. Public transit in Manhattan is fantastic and inexpensive, and with it, you should be able to get anywhere you need to without a car or a bike (although we do have a free bike-share program). The school has intra- and inter-campus shuttles, but the campus is so compact and walkable that I never needed to use any of them. Columbia Universitys campus and the surrounding neighborhood (Morningside Heights) always felt safe to me. Both are well lit, and students are out at all hours of the day and night, not to mention that we have a lot of late-night grocery stores and pizza places. Dorms are particularly secure, since only current students have access to them. How available are the professors, academic advisers, and teaching assistants at Columbia University? Benjamin: Professors, advisers, and teaching assistants are generally very accessible. With professors, it is important to proactively reach out if you are having a problem (or if you just want to chat), which is why it is always a good idea to go to office hours. The vast majority of them want to help you if they can, and they love it when students show an interest in what they are teaching outside of just showing up to class. How would you describe the dorm liferooms, dining options, location, socialization opportunities with other students? Benjamin: The dorms themselves vary a lot from year to year and building to building. The newer ones tend to have a lot of great amenities, such as central air conditioning, island kitchens, and big common spaces. The older dorms sometimes have these features if they have been renovated recently, and they all have a lot of character (e.g. high ceilings, ornate fireplaces, wood floors, etc.). In general, your housing options improve every year, so you will likely end up with something great for your junior and/or senior years. All the dorms are located close to classes and dining halls because the campus is so compact, and you have a good chance of having a fantastic view of the New York skyline and/or the Hudson River in almost all of the buildings. One of the biggest advantages of having such a compact and walkable campus is that you are never far from your friends (especially since the vast majority of undergraduates live on campus all four years). It is generally easy to make friends in your dorm if you make an effort, particularly as a freshman. In fact, most of my best friends lived on my freshman floor. Dining hall food in general can get very tiresome, but Columbia Universitys is pretty good as far as they goit is relatively fresh and interesting, and there are four different locations at which you can use your meal swipes. Which majors/programs are best represented and supported at Columbia University? Benjamin: Columbia Universitys American studies department has a number of superstar professors, and the computer science department is growing quickly. The political science and economics departments are also large and well funded. I studied linguistics because I had a longstanding interest in English grammar and foreign languages throughout high school. There is no linguistics department at Columbia University, so I had to make my own major. The upside of this was that I became close friends with a lot of the other linguistics majors, got to know my professors really well, and had a lot of flexibility in which courses I could take. The downside was that most linguistics classes were offered only once every two years (as opposed to every semester), and there was very little institutional/monetary support for thesis research, summer programs, etc. How easy or difficult was it for you to meet people and make friends as a freshman? Does Greek life play a significant role in the campus social life? Benjamin: Its very easy to make friends! Doing one of the pre-orientation programsCOOP or CUEis a good way to meet people right off the bat, but you will have many opportunities to make friends otherwise. I made a lot of friends in my dorm, and through extracurricular activities and my major. Greek life has a growing presence on campus; it can be a big part of your life if you want to be, and if you do not, you will barely even know it exists. How helpful is the Career Center and other student support services? Benjamin: Columbia Universitys career center is accessible and helpful, particularly if you are interested in jobs in the non-profit, legal, and finance/consulting sectors. They arrange on-campus interviews for practically every large company, non-profit, and government agency you can think of, from IBM and Goldman Sachs to the FBI. How are the various study areas such as libraries, the student union, and dorm lounges at Columbia University? Benjamin: Space is generally somewhat limited at Columbia University given its location. However, the main library is open 24/7, and you can almost always find a seat in a library if you want one. There are a ton of different libraries and other study spaces, and the university is in the midst of a huge expansion that should free up some space on the main undergraduate campus. The Columbia University student center is not as user-friendly as the Barnard College student center across the street (the Diana Center), but you will have full access to that one as a Columbia University student. Describe the surrounding town. Benjamin: It is New York, which is pretty much all you need to say. You will never run out of things to do. Restaurants near Columbia University tend to be a little mediocre and overpriced, but there are a few gems. You can also find great food if you go just a few blocks outside of the neighborhood in any direction. I did not leave the neighborhood much my freshman year because everything you need to survive is within a few blocks of campus, but I would recommend getting out into the city as much as you possibly can. How big or small is the student body? Were you generally pleased or displeased with the typical class sizes? Benjamin: Columbia University is a medium-sized school, and there are between 1,000 and 1,500 students in each undergraduate class. Class sizes vary wildly depending on your majorI have had courses with over 200 students, and some with only three or four. The bigger classes are almost always large lectures, so it does not really matter how many students are in them (especially if you have a separate section). I always found teaching assistants and professorseven in the bigger classesto be responsive and accessible. Describe one memorable experience with a professor and/or class. Perhaps one you loved the most or one you regret the most. Benjamin: During the second semester of my freshman year, one of my professors invited our whole class over to his beautiful Riverside Drive apartment for dessert, and talked to us about his work at CERN on the Large Hadron Collider. It was inspiring to hear an accomplished professor talk about such important work, and to see that he took an interest in us even as a group of bewildered freshmen (not to mention that there was a lot of chocolate).

Time Management Strategies for the MCAT

Time Management Strategies for the MCAT The MCAT is typically considered a fast-paced exam. Certain sections can seem harder to finish within the allotted time than others, but all the portions of the test require students to employ time management strategies in order to succeed. The Biological Sciences and Physical Sciences sections each have 52 questions that must be completed in 70 minutes, while Verbal Reasoning consists of 40 questions in a 60-minute window. Below are several key time management strategies to exercise while sitting for the exam to ensure that you do not exceed the time limit and forego points. 1. Monitor the time This simple technique may seem intuitive, but on exam day, many test-takers forget to note the time. Wear a reliable watch, and locate the clock in your exam room as soon as you sit down. Be certain you understand the pacing of the section you are working on. You have approximately one minute and twenty seconds for each question on the Physical Sciences and Biological Sciences portions. For Verbal Reasoning, you will have one minute and thirty seconds for each problem. Do not become obsessive about the time, but establish landmarks within each section to ensure you are on schedule. For example, when you have 35 minutes remaining in Physical Sciences (the half-way mark), you should be finished with at least 26 (half) of the questions. Here is some great information on how to manage your time during MCAT prepas well. 2. Move on from difficult questions Utilizing this time management strategy can seem difficult at first, because the majority of students hope to answer every single question correctly. However, recognizing your limits and moving on from a very difficult question that you cannot seem to grasp will ultimately earn you more points. By moving on, you allow yourself to answer easier questions in the section. If you still have time remaining after you have completed the remaining problems, return to those you initially omitted. These are5 strategies for MCAT practice teststhat you may finduseful. 3. Read the question line before the stem Many question stems on the MCAT consist of several lines of text. In order to quickly understand what information you must know, read the last line of the stem before the beginning. This will focus your skimming of the rest of the stem. Many times, it is not even necessary to read the remainder because you will be able to answer the question immediately. However, you should always skim the stem to ensure you understand the full problem. 4. Practice beforehand Though this is not a time management strategy you can rely upon come test day, it is crucial to complete timed practice sections and full exams to gain familiarity with the pacing of the MCAT. Practicing well in advance will also aid you in understanding the types of questions you will be asked on test day. Moreover, you can practice applying the above strategies during your sample exams to further build your time management skills. An MCAT tutorcan even guide you through each individual step. Timing is a major component of success on the MCAT. Many students struggle to earn an extra point or two simply because they do not reach the questions at the end of a section. Pacing yourself by watching the clock, moving on from difficult questions, reading the question line of the stem first, and completing practice examsbefore test day are all important strategies to help you beat the clock.

The Arabic Language in the Modern Day World

The Arabic Language in the Modern Day World History of the Arabic Language ChaptersThe History and Evolution of the Arabic LanguageHow the Arabic Language SpreadLearn Arabic to Learn About the Spread of the Arab LanguageArabic Influences Around the WorldWhy Learn Arabic: The Language in PracticeArabic is a living language, spoken and written by more than 400 million people, in countries stretching from the Middle East and Arabian Peninsula, to North Africa, and across Asia. What’s more, Arabic is considered a sacred language for more than a billion Muslims, and a language which has contributed massively to our society.Arabic is currently an official language in 22 countries, and has spread both orally and through literature thanks to its long history.Previously used by the pre-Islamic Arabic tribes for their poetry, the development of the Muslim religion saw the Arabic language transformed from one of Arab culture, into the sacred language of Islam as well.But what does Arabic mean?It is difficult to identify the origin of the word Arab, but researchers h ave suggested several hypothesis:In Greek mythology, ‘Arab’ comes from the God Arabos, son of the god Hermes, and born in the country of ArabiaArabic etymology maintains that ‘Arab’ comes from the verb for ‘to explain.’ But the word could equally mean ‘the place where the sun sets.’In either case, there are a few areas where all the scholars agree:Arabic is one of the major languages in the world, and can trace its heritage through some of history's great civilisations.This has allowed Arabic to transfer large volumes of scientific, religious, and literary knowledge throughout history.In order to learn Arabic yourself, you must learn the Arabic alphabet, Arabic grammar, and vocabulary. To master all of that, it’s probably best to sign up for some Arabic courses.In this article we’ll be talking about literary Arabic, a language with a rich history stretching across centuries.

Its literary style reflects the cultural heritage of the different tribes.Today however, the Arabic language (especially Classical Arabi c) is especially associated with the Muslim religion.The Quran tells us that from 610-632 AD the Prophet Mohammed received messages from God via the archangel Gabriel, in what is now Saudi Arabia.The Quran, which is written in Arabic, was initially passed down orally, memorized by professional ‘callers,’ which are known as hufaz and qura in Arabic.Little by little, Islam’s sacred text has come to be a common ground that brings Muslims together, whether they’re Arabic or not. Most Muslims hold a certain amount of awe for the Quran, (written in Arabic) for its stories and the beauty of its language.It’s this close knit relationship between the Quran and the Arabic language which has now made Arabic such an important language for believers around the world.How the Arabic Language SpreadThe Arabic language is a liturgical (holy) oneArabic is a rich language, with a complex history, vocabulary, and lexicon. Taking Arabic lessons will broaden your horizons to a new way of thinki ng about the world, even if it is only an Arabic for beginners class, such is the diverse and influential history that the language has.It's grammar is complex but precise, and the Arabic alphabet is challenging but truly artistic to write the script. Arabic students quickly find that it is a challenging language and they will have to study hard if they want to speak Arabic fluently one day.Arabs often boast of the following plethora of synonyms:80 Arabic words for honey200 expressions for snakes500 words in Arabic for lionAltogether, Arabic has over 60,000 words in its vocabulary!The nouns, ideas, and concepts described by the Arabic language also give its speakers a bevy of words to choose from, and a corresponding ability to say exactly what they mean.The rich literary framework of the Arabic language is best showcased by Arabic poetry, well known for a certain level of finesse and rich word choice.Pre-Islamic poetry cast a long shadow on the literary history of the Arabic langua ge, and heavily influenced the style of Arabic literature up until the beginning of the 19th century,This heritage is still visible today in the genres, norms and models of the Arabic language, whether ethical, poetical, linguistic, or rhetorical.Even if Arabic literature played a founding role in the development and style of the Arabic language, religion was the most important factor in its wide spread.In most Muslim countries today, Arabic is a liturgical language.  Arabic classes are found in schools and at mosques in countries where Islam is the predominant religion.The Muslim religion has spread far and wide, finding adherents in almost every corner of the planet. It also infiltrated several Empires and countries which had previously been Christian. And so, the Arabic language spread at the same time as Islam.You can also find out how to master Arabic numbers… HalimaArabic Teacher £13/h1st lesson free!Discover all our tutors KotaibaArabic Teacher 5.00 (3) £30/h1st lesson f ree!Discover all our tutors SoledadArabic Teacher £20/h1st lesson free!Discover all our tutors NancyArabic Teacher 5.00 (1) £18/h1st lesson free!Discover all our tutors TaouesArabic Teacher £8/h1st lesson free!Discover all our tutors DinaArabic Teacher £15/h1st lesson free!Discover all our tutors AbrarArabic Teacher £20/h1st lesson free!Discover all our tutors UsamaArabic Teacher 5.00 (1) £17/h1st lesson free!Discover all our tutorsLearn Arabic to Learn About the Spread of the Arab LanguageThe Arabic language, as we know it today, is a mix of several different languages.At the beginning of the 8th century, the Islamic empire reached from Persia all the way to Spain, introducing the Arabic language and people to a wide range of other cultures.In Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine where the majority of the population spoke an Aramaic dialect, and the languages of many of the neighboring Arabic tribes were slowly replaced by the language of Ishmael.In Egypt, the growth in the Arabic language was a slow process, as Coptic and Greek were already dominant in the country. In Spain and Persia, Arabic never quite managed to rival the native languages.As Arabic reached each new country, the language was also enriched. In each place, words from the local language were introduced into Arabic, giving it new words and vocabulary for areas like government, administration, and science.In addition to all its inherent diversity and strength, all these external influences helped develop Arabic into an appropriate language with which to govern an empire.Numerous researchers - Arabs and non Arabs, Muslims or not - all collaborated in a rich intellectual culture that used Arabic as a lingua franca.However a period of decline began in the 11th century AD as the Crusades, political rumblings in Spain, Turkish and Mongol invasions in the east, and internal divisions began to weaken the Arabic empire.All these tensions led to a period of stagnation for the Arabic language too, even if its importance to the Muslim religion was never in question.The 19th century saw a bit of an intellectual renaissance, first beginning in Egypt and Syria before spreading throughout the rest of the Arab world, and beginning with the Napoleonic expeditions to Egypt in 1798.The expedition introduced the first Arabic printers to Egypt, and the translation of many pieces of Western literature into Arabic.Throughout the course of history, the spread of Arabic across the world has also helped to spread and protect knowledge.Arabic Influences Around the WorldIn Spain, you can see many examples of Arab architectureThe Arabic language is spoken by more than 400 million people worldwide.Arabic first became an official language in the 8th century AD, during the Omayad Caliphate of Abd Malik Ibn Warwan.

One was a description of the Indian decimal system, and the other was a system of algebra, including first and second degree equations.Arabic Contributions to MedicineMuch of the Arabic understanding of medicine in the Middle Ages can be attributed to the work of Avicenna, who wrote the medical encyclopedia Qanûn.Ibn Nafis, was the first to describe circulation of the blood, and the Persian scholar al-Razi, developed the use of alcohol in health care.
