Is it just me or is math getting a whole lot harder? 1 Reply

I mean I haven't been in a math class my level in a few years. Something like 5 years. I find myself looking at my GED book, and getting all heated. My brain HURTS looking at it. It's pretty sad I...

Statistical Significance 1 Reply

The first thing to consider is the size of your sample. With samples sizes on the order or 10^3 or more, the usual mean and standard deviation are probably fine. Smaller samples will be more suscep...

Comment by Lelissa 1 day ago: hey guys! anybody that needs help with biology can ask me. Especially anatomy type stuff but i'm pretty decent with cellular structure too :)

Comment by thad on November 12, 2009 at 9:21am: Hi Bethanie! Feel free to start up a discussion to let us know the specifics of what you need help with.

Comment by Bethanie on November 12, 2009 at 8:44am: Oh thanks lord For this kind of group. I have a felling I shall be coming here a lot. I am working on getting my GED and it's just killing me trying to teach myself some stuff I haven't learned, Because I didn't get to be in the class.

Comment by thad on November 8, 2009 at 11:45am: We've got a decent sized bunch here -- thank you all for joining! I'm wondering how we can make our services better known to the community, aside from spam (which would be abominable). Ideas?

Comment by naturegeek on October 28, 2009 at 9:49pm: Great idea Thad - thanks for the invite! Heading over to the introduction forum - fun!

Comment by thad on October 28, 2009 at 10:07am: Hi Jen! Don't feel obligated to have to tutor -- I just figure this will work best if we build a set of people to go to at the beginning. Welcome aboard!

Comment by Jenny on October 28, 2009 at 7:22am: Thad!! This is genius; why wasn't this group made earlier? I might use this for people to tutor me more than I tutoring others, but I am good at history and literature. I don't know anyone who needs help in those subjects, but this should be fun. :D

Comment by Fedora.Pirate on October 27, 2009 at 3:05am: Nah it's all good, group is featured; I just hope I haven't overstepped my bounds.

Comment by thad on October 27, 2009 at 2:55am: Bif -- thanks for the pic! well done!
Jake -- let me know if there's anything else we should add prior to your featuring the group.

Comment by Zach Minute on October 27, 2009 at 2:06am: I am well versed in tutoring physics through the second year of general physics knowledge at most universities. I actually do this for SPS (Society of Physics Students). Other than that, I'm unreliable.
