I ran across this website when i was looking for help with my math homework. I found it interesting, and thought someone else might too. (from the link I gave you, answer the q and then it'll show you a pretty cool video that talks alot about some of the kinds of things that we are talking about in class.)

This list was very helpful, you kind of move fast in class so it's hard to write all this stuff down. Thanks! This is going to be very useful for writing my paper.
