"The teaching of mathematical concepts is the main focus of this project;
so we can teach other people and learn at the same time."
I hope you enjoy reading and going through my Pre-Calculus 40S project! I believe that learning should be simple and easy but also interesting.

The End
• Why did you choose the concepts you did to create your problem set?
I chose these concepts because I felt comfortable with them and felt that they would help me create an interesting question.
• How do these problems provide an overview of your best mathematical understanding of what you have learned so far?
These problems provide an overview of my best mathematical ability because they showcase, to a certain level, questions that are not quite simple but in ways complicated.
• Did you learn anything from this assignment? Was it educationally valuable to you? (Be honest with this. If you got nothing out of this assignment then say that, but be specific about what you didn't like and offer a suggestion to improve it in the future.)
Learn from this assignment? LOTS! While trying to come up with the "perfect" problems (which took very long) I had to think like a teacher, set up solutions and work my way around until I came up with a good question. I will admit that I found it difficult to do this and at times I struggled. Since I had to look at these problems at a different perspective it really made me think and learn these concepts in more detail. I believe that it is educationally valuable to me because it expanded my knowledge on these concepts and will help me on my final exam.
There were multiple things that I disliked about this project. First, the freedom of due date caused me to procrastinate a lot of the times. Second, though not quite a bad thing, fellow students that publish their projects previous to mine were quite extreme and excellent that it really intimidated me as to how I could aim for expert level. I had time to learn from theirs and try to make mine at fascinating but I really didn't because everyone has their own skill cap. Thirdly, I find that I was constantly racing with time as to how soon I could finish and was really worried that I may have made a mistake. I wish that the expert level for solutions wouldn't say "no errors" because one little error could cost me a chunk of marks (in my opinion, that's bad).
Well my dislikes weren't quite that bad but were more of interesting opinions.
