    @5w0rl12 4 роки тому +22

    Brian, I'd like to publicly thank you for taking the time to think through your lessons before you give them. You try to make clear each lesson you teach. You come at it at all angles so that all might intuitively understand. I'm taking trigonometry in college, but unfortunately I never took trig in high school. My college trig teacher never gives a model to teach with. He always rushes through and I am totally lost sometimes. To make up for that , I come to your videos, where finally, a clear picture is obtained. I appreciate you.

  • @vch8039
    @vch8039 6 років тому +15

    I could actually binge watch these, these videos are oddly so interesting. Our teacher can't explain anything even if his life depended on it, he over complicates things waaay too much. Thank you for the videos!

  • @johnjames3155
    @johnjames3155 8 років тому +2

    I honestly forgot to think that the rule of a^2+b^2=c^2 only involves right angle triangles, until now, you have reminded to do the rule shown in the video to actually find the correct length; you've got my sub. Thanks

    Thank you so much for this video, my math teacher is so awful and he really doesn't explain how to do things. I think he explained how to do ambiguous triangles like this once but very poorly and unlike him you explain the reasoning behind why we do certain things like subtract the angle we solve for from 180 to get the 2nd angle, makes so much more sense.

    Not everyone speaks the same language the same way. It would be nice if students could be matched with specific instructors based upon the assessment of their interpretation. -My professor most likely taught this to me to relay the saaaame exact message, but i didnt understand him, I never do. But you my good sir! ... you and I speak the same language the same way!! I get AAALLL of your videos and they helped me pull through and pick up to speed this semester, your channel is my GO TO channel whenever I don't understand a section and every single time with out failure, I walk away mastering the topic( I feel like I can tutor in the math center at my school sometimes! ) !!! I love your account. thank you so much for your videos and your time! Amazing!

    Thanks for the video. It really helped me review for the SAT. Also a quick shortcut to see if there is an ambiguous case is to look at the angle value of the first angle you solved for. If it is greater than the given angle then there is an ambiguous case​.

    Dear Mr. McLogan,
    My name is Shayaan Makki. Thank you for the videos that you have posted on UA-cam on topics such as Alegra I all the way to Calculus. They were really helpful and helped me understand topics that I didn't learn clearly in class. Currently, I am a 10th grader taking Pre-Calculus Honors and am having trouble understanding the concept of the Ambiguous Case of the Law of Sine for Two Triangles. Can you please explain how to find the obtuse angle for the Triangle and how to confirm whether there actually is 2nd triangle? Thank you.
    Sincerely,
