Algebra is horrible Tt

Mornin' Basil, today I come with a serious thread,
I need help with Algebra.

1) I don't understand equations and those equal things, all it is to me is crap.
2) Oh, and I need help understanding those graphs, they make no sense to me...
3) And what the hell is Sin Cos Tan for trigonometry or w/e.
<3 to anyone who can help.

PS: This isnt homework, this is something I want to learn before my next year, In NZ we get taught algebra in Year 10...

BTW that's not strictly algebra, that's trigonometry, since you're dealing with sin/cos/tan

Tips:
The best way to deal with sin/cos/tan is to memorize them. No need to derive, just strictly memorize the sin/cos/tan graph/chart and the trig rules. If you memorize those, you'll be good to go.

[quote=ZombieOverlord]Well, that's what teachers are for.
I don't think I can explain the process of Algebra very easily through typing out explanations. You need a more hands on approach.[/quote]

[quote=uOnPeriod]I have been using it, I need more of a tutor, who can just explain all the rules and such, I don't expect much of them.
There's a large difference (to me) of something typed out and someone actually talking to me.[/quote]

You'll learn as you go through the class.

I do not like the large gap between people who can barely do Algebra and those who do Calculus in my old high school.
