The website has been significantly updated since January when last mentioned here. Here is a working version as of April 20th. You can also find the ePub at archive.org, if a downloadable file would be better.

How do you feel about your writing? Can you communicate effectively on paper or with a keyboard? Do you write with style and impact? Do you write slowly or quickly? These are all questions that writers ask themselves. As with any pursuit, practice is essential. When in doubt, write more. Along with that, read more. Learning fundamental writing conventions and techniques are also important.

*This is a reference website with three main sections: academic writing (papers), fiction writing, and poetry. Information provided is generally consistent with U.S. high school and university guidelines. However, writing is a vast field, and each instructor and institution has their own set of preferences. When in doubt, ask your instructor for thei

Hi, i need to study Mathematics from scratch. I didn't learn any math at school. I'm from a EU country, not UK.

I have a hard time finding math books that use the metric system online. I try'd openstax, but those books use imperial dogshit. https://openstax.org/ I try to scavenge anna's archive. But all of them imperial. And all UK Secondary School books online are incomplete. I can't just buy/import them because i have not been in school for over a decade. Only teachers can buy them.

I need pure metric Math e-books for prealgebra, algebra 1&2, Trigonometry, Geometry, Precalculus, Calculus. I want to put them om my e-reader with wacom stylus, so i don't need to buy paper.

If i have to use imperial measurements for longer than an hour, my brain will explode. 🤯 I'm not looking forward to converting and typesetting hundreds of books in LaTeX on Arch linux.

Which books should i get? Only complete books.

I'm working on a website for high school writing (in English). If you want to take a look, and possibly offer feedback, feel free.

LibGuide page from William Paterson University provides information on reliable web resources for the course COMM2240 International Media. The page focuses on websites but also mentions that the Statista database contains information on social media usage worldwide, providing charts and data.

Some resources: The best practice resource is the practice tests released by the college board and Khan Academy material here: https://www.khanacademy.org/test-prep/digital-sat But the number of those questions is limited and some of them are not really on par with official ones.

The practice tests at: https://www.digitalsatexam.com/ are closer to official test questions.

I highly recommend this site for Math & Science homework for Middle School - University. The source code can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/drlippman/IMathAS. MyOpenMath has over 1.1 million questions written for it by teachers and professors and you can contribute as well.

Today when talking on discord someone mentioned their approval for Khan Academy, stating that it was what allowed them to pass their class. I have too consulted Khan Academy on a few occasions, and I thought the teaching was well done. I believe education is a human right, and I thought I would see what I could do to contribute. I was alarmed to discover the lack of ways to do so.

I voiced my thoughts in a brief way in discord, and was quickly attacked by nearly everyone there. People seem to all love khan, holding it as the savior of education, and in some way's, it is. Khan was the first platform I could find to offer easily accessible k-12-beyond learning for anyone, for free. It provides a central place with "trusted" content, but ultimately khan academy solves no issues in our education system, while getting all the support of the internet.

I write this "rant" to be the first person on the internet to say khan is not so great.

Really nice, interactive illustrations to provide a really nice introduction to linear algebra.
