Writing

I finally started working seriously on the Precalculus book about a week ago, which is part of why blogging has been so light. I forgot how much fun writing is. Now, I don't want to do anything else.
The basic structure of the book is a quick review of functions, 3-4 chapters of trig, 2-3 chapters of complex numbers, 3ish chapters of 2&3 dimensional vector spaces. The overall goal of the book will be to show how deeply related these three areas of math are. I've been wanting to write this book for a long while, and think I'll enjoy it a lot more than the Intermediate Algebra book, partly because the book will "hold together" better because the material is all so related, and partly because it'll be shorter
