This video can run circles around other videos about circles. Sir Cumference, of Round Table fame, explains all the properties of… well, circles....
Time to learn about the area of a sector. And no, that's not the sector's bedroom with a bumper sticker on the door that reads, "GO AWAY."
Equations of circles are a no-brainer. If aliens can do it, so can you. All you do is substitute the center of the circle's coordinates into the eq...

If you already know what a conditional statement is, then you're smarter than you look. And boy do you look smart.
Indirect proofs (or proofs by contradiction) prove their conclusion by showing that the opposite cannot be true. You can use this in math and in ar...
Formal proofs present the oh-so-mathematical evidence in two columns: one for the statement they are claiming is true, and the other for the reason...
