Mathematics - 13 August 2006

I am an adult who is terrible at math. Mathematically, I am like an adult who is totally illiterate. But strangely I am intelligent when it comes to other things. But for some reason I have always had almost a phobia when it comes to math. Anytime I even look at numbers I just go completely goofy and feel physically ill.

Do you know of a way to start from the beginning and totally re-teach yourself math? Is there some book that can fundamentally change the way you think about numbers, and even simple math, that can make math easier or at least more enjoyable?

It is really important I learn this too.. my dreams in life require that I learn it.

The expression is read as
(1 + i divided by n) raised to the second power
times (1/n)
What is the limit as n goes to infinity?

need to find the solution on the interval [0, 2pi), but i dont know how to use the trig identities to simplify the equations so that i can find an answer, help plz!

1) csc(x) + cot(x) = 1

2) [1 + cos(x)] / [1 - cos(x)] = 0

I ended up with 10 & -2 for my answers when I tried this equation. Anybody get anything else? I think I may have simplified it a bit too much when I was going through it.

This problem doesn't seem solveable to me. I am using the theorem x = (-b±√(b^2-4ac))/2a.

A room is 10 meters long, 4 meters wide, and 4 meters high. A spider is at the middle of an end wall, 1/3 meter from the floor. A fly is at the middle of the other end wall, 1/3 meter from the ceiling, too frightened to move. The spider crawls to the fly. What is the shortest distance? (14 meters is not the correct answer.)
