BOB - A Reflection

            As has been seemingly characteristic of my mathematics career, it's the little things that get me. Coming into class, I was pleasantly surprised to find that what we were to be doing over the coming weeks was an extension on what I had just done the trimester prior in Algebra 2B. Nevertheless, the content was challenging, but not impossible. Over the course of the four(five?) weeks of unit one, I was able to understand the core concepts of what we were learning, and am fairly confident in my ability to solve sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, and cotangent functions. That being said, I still got problems wrong on the test. Upon further review, one will see that the majority of questions I got wrong were due to the omission of a negative sign somewhere in the process of solving. I've heard many a man say something along the lines of "I can do complex mathematics; it's the simple stuff that trips me up". It is my philosophy that for every problem, there is at least one solution(math aside), and in this case the solution would be to pay greater attention to detail in the future.
