...This requires a very deep understanding of how matrices interact with each other and figuring out key properties of a matrix using the linear algebra I was taught in college. I have tutored undergraduates who were taking Linear Algebra as well as those taking courses such as differential equations and vector calculus, where linear algebra is extensively... read more

...Adding and subtracting fractions requires a common denominator. Multiplying fractions does not, and dividing by a fraction is just multiplying by the reciprocal. One topic covered in pre-calculus is the polar coordinate system. Using the definition of sine and cosine you can express the rectangular coordinates x and y as rcos(theta) and rsin(theta)... read more
