Find the intersection of y=x-1 and y=sin(x) 2009-10-10
From Usama:
There are many modern calculators and softwares that can plot the functions. I have two very simple equations y=x-1 and y=sin(x), if i draw them manually on paper i can not get the accurate value. But i think a computer can easily draw perfect straight and curve lines so it should be easy to find the intersection point of two lines. Is there any way or software that can tell the exact value of intersection point of two lines?

I want to learn math 2007-08-07
From Maria:
Hello. I am 16-years-old, and I would like to learn as much mathematics as I can and to really understand it. I would like to know what people mean when they say things like "thinking mathematically" or "math is equally beautiful and true". However, I'm not sure where to start. :-) What do you think of going back to the beginning and working my way through Euclid? Your help would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
