S. Stormy Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 If you've ever been confused by a math problem, you belong here! Ask for help, or just discuss your confusion! Starting this thread because I stared at a problem for around ten minutes before I remembered that the Pythagorean Theorem existed. I felt very silly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quantus Posted May 5 Report Share Posted May 5 (edited) Ill do what I can to help. Im an engineer who is 20 years past my college courses so I might have literally forgotten more math than most people ever get exposed to. We'll have to see how much is left...
