Got Math?

TribulationStaff · #1 07-28-2003, 01:18 AM

I know that there are a lot of scripters out there in the middleschool/early highschool age group. For a lot of these people, it means they have not yet taken enough, if any, math to do some of the more interesting things script can do. I was wondering if any of you would be interested in a sort of algebra/trig in a nutshell sort of thread.

As to my qualifications, I am a junior in a baccalaureate math program at the moment, I have tutored these subjects in the past, and my planned graduate program of study is Math Ed.

Jagen, Soul-Blade, Kai, and others would surely be able to attest that I have, at the very least, enough skill to help at this level.

By all means, I support this. While it may not be much help to me personally as I'm beyond those classes in my school career, I know of several people who would benefit greatly from it.

If you wanted, you might be able to use the Scripter School resources.

it would be nice to see it ;o
i know some basic algebra and trig, nothing really advanced though

It's how to apply it I need to be able to figure out. So, why not. Go for it.

osrs · #6 07-28-2003, 02:50 PM

Yes,learning is always good.

tlf288 · #7 07-29-2003, 07:21 AM

This would be good for me.

TribulationStaff · #8 07-29-2003, 07:43 AM

Well, I guess this means when scripting school comes out, I will give math tutoring a shot. Thanks to Kai for the invite to use the server

Kaimetsu · #9 07-29-2003, 08:57 AM

I can't guarantee anything, I'm just saying that I don't see any immediate problems with you using it.

tlf288 · #10 07-29-2003, 09:08 AM

By the way, Kai. I heard that you will not be using IRC for the scripting school. What will you be using, if this is true?

Specially scripted tools on a Graal server. It'll mostly look like IRC, but with extra doodads like a sketchpad.

Yea, I'd like this too, because my math skills don't go past basic Algebra (and I'm a Junior

)

Sounds cool, but sounds laggy for some reason

Why would it be laggy? We'd only be sending simple information - most of the time it would be purely textual. It's not like lag would do any harm anyway - we're not talking about any real-time, time-sensitive stuff here. The teacher draws a picture, the students look at it. Even if lag delays the reception by as much as five seconds, does that prevent the student from seeing the diagram? Does it stop him/her learning from it?

When I think of people chatting in a scripted chat room on Graal I just think LAG. I'm sure you guys could make it where lag is minimal, but in the back of my mind I see LAG and I can't change that. heh

Only one person would be talking: The teacher.

What if a student has questions? Will s/he have like a "*raise hand*" button?

Effectively. They'll be able to pose questions, which will fall into a queue (only one per person at any time). The teacher can, at any time, see how many questions are in the queue and request the most recent.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention.

I decided to drop out of the project for long and boring reasons. In the future, contact Angel or Jagen for Scripter School information.

Off-topic posting isn't illegal, and the posts are mostly fairly well connected to the original theme.
