36 y/o and in grade 12 math.
Hi everyone! As I just wrote the subject line I couldn't help but think what a loser I must sound like. Well I am here like everyone else; to learn some tips and tricks maybe. In a way, I wanted to share my story to stress the importance of finishing your education. I chose to raise my children first and then go back for my grade 12 which now I'm wondering if that was such a wise choice as I sit here nearly ripping out my hair trying to plug away at this trigonometry, grrrr

Hi mamabear;
Welcome to the forum! I think you are right, It is not a wise choice to rip your hair out. It may not grow back! Posting the problem is much easier and less painful unless you are talking to me.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Probability is the most important concept in modern science, especially as nobody has the slightest notion what it means.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
