One formula to rule them all, one formula to find them. One formula to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them. Or something like that. I...
Logic and Proofs Videos 13 videos
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...
Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Videos 23 videos
This video explores parallel lines and transversals: how to identify them both on a math test and in real life urban planning. What do the consecut...
To prove lines are parallel, you need a third line. We at Shmoop (and the rest of the world) call it a transversal.
