As our year continues and the concepts we delve into get more and more complicated, sometimes classroom learning and textbook learning isn't enough. One method I have personally used this year is checking my work using an online software development that makes all systematic knowledge immediately computable by anyone. This website is called Wolfram Alpha and I have found it incredibly useful in my studies this year. I have found it particularly useful in checking my work on difficult problems since it provides step by step instructions on how the problem is solved. One of the things I really like about this site is the graphing capabilities it has. You simply type in the function and it will give you a picture of the graph, the integer solution, the domain, range, the derivative, and even allows you to interact with the graph to manipulate it. Another interesting feature of this site is it's random feature. You simply click the button and it takes you to a random problem. This is interesting because you can learn about all sorts of different math problems and how they are done with relative ease.
One thing I have learned is that you cannot simply rely on this site to do everything for you. Like many things, nothing beats instruction from a knowledgeable instructor where you can ask questions and interact in real time. I have found that this is best used as review and checking your work rather than relying on this site to teach it to you.
Once again here is the link to the site incase you were interested about looking into it further: WolframAlpha.com
