These Pages are designed mainly to help older students and adults who are having difficulty with some basic maths topics. Because they are ntended for older students some of them may contain more information than would normally be needed by or given to younger students learning about the topic for the first time. Because I have tried to make each Page self-contained there is inevitably some repetition between Pages.

For the reasons why I chose to put these Pages onto my Web Site please click here (mainly for Maths Teachers)

• Polygons
  About triangles, quadrilaterals and other polygons, with their names, regular and non-regular, convex, concave and stellated polygons, pentacles and Stars of David, the internal and external angles of a polygon, and their sums.
  
  
• Natural and other numbers
  About natural numbers, integers and ordinals, real, rational and irrational and complex numbers and recurring decimals.
  
  
• Powers
  About powers, powers of 0 and 1, negative powers, standard and scientific form, roots and fractional powers, and an introduction to logarithms.
  
  
• Bases
  About base 10 and other bases, including heptal, binary and hexadecimal, and their use in computers.
  
  
• Triangles
  About scalene, isosceles and equilateral, acute, right and obtuse angled triangles, the interior and exterior angles, and how fixing the sides of a triangle also fixes its angles.
  
  
• The shape of a polygon
  About how knowing the sides, or angles, of any polygon other than a triangle does not fix its shape, and polygons as mechanisms.
  
  
• Circles
  About circles, the centre, circumference, radius and diameter, chords, sectors, segments and arcs, the area of a circle and the length of the circumference, the value of π, and degrees and radians.
  
  
• Factors, Prime Numbers, and Multiples
  About factors, prime and composite numbers, prime factors, the Highest Common Factor, multiples and the Lowest Common Multiple, and how to find these.
  
  
• Trigonometry and the Global Positioning System
  About trigonometry, map-making, the Ancient Egyptian Pyramids, and the Global Positioning System.
