Thank you. I learn more from you then i do at school. Thanks im in gr 12 physics now but this is great review as the last time i took physics was 2 years ago.

Great Trig primer. These videos are exactly what I was looking for. Super basic and highly effective. Thanks again. I subscribed!

[Aliyare20101]

Great

[Aliyare20101]

Nice

[lalared79]

I'm glad I'm not alone :) Good luck to you guys! I'm tempted to go talk to the physics dept. about it. I've got a great GPA and this could have really bit me in the butt with the rest of my course load...

@lalared79 its not a prereq at my college either! it should be since all of the calculating is trig!!

[Barcslay]

@lalared79 same here. I got into my physics class and my teacher said "now we'll look to some trig to help us out" and he started talking about sin, cos, and tan. I thought I was screwed until I found these videos.

[lalared79]

For some reason Trig isn't a prereq to Physics at my college so I've been teaching myself all weekend until I found you. Thank you sooo much!!

Finally

God Bless you sir

[pwnwner]

Thank you for your awesome videos

[JoeySw337]

Stellar. Exactly what I need!
