Trigonometry + Precalculus

I think Brilliant should make a category for Trigonometry and Precalculus.

I know that in the Geometry section, some problems require a bit of Trig. and Precalc., but I think they should have a section just for Trigonometry and Precalculus problems, so more problems can involve these two subjects.

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

I agree. Students taking a precalculus class have no obvious place to go on this platform.

I agree with you ,the geometry section is mostly filled with trig problems.

Simon Mos - 7 years, 3 months ago

Exactly, and that's why I'm asking for more of a discernment between the two, by asking for separate sections.

BTW Sorry for replying for so late. I seriously thought no one was ever going to see this post again.

Isn't a critical part of Geometry the knowledge of trig?

Daniel Liu - 6 years, 11 months ago

Well you see, they are actually quite different depending on the definition of your subject. To me, I believe Trigonometry is one step above Geometry, and requiring more skill, therefore being different to me. However, I do realize Trigonometry needs much Geometry, but it would be helpful to split these two sections/subjects up.
