In the video, the instructor explores the proof of the trig identity sin(a+b) = (cos a)(sin b) + (sin a)(cos b). In an easy conversational tone, the instructor uses the computer screen as his 'blackboard' and different colors to emphasis his points. For high school students.
3.5 Meaning and language-based methods In recent years many psychologists have become interested in language as an important human ‘product’ (the symbolic data described in Section 2.3 above).

3 The water table The water table is a fundamental reference surface in the study of groundwater. It tends to follow the ground surface, rising under hills and falling at valleys, but the gradient of the water table is usually much less than that of the ground surface (Figure 4). Under hills the water table is usually at greater depths below the surf

Models are tested for accuracy against known sets of data, before being run forward to predict future changes. 3.7 Databases and XML In Table 1, it was easy to see which pieces of data belonged to which fields, where the records began and ended, and so on. The tabular layout enabled us to see at a glance the salient features. If you wanted to find a particular name in a table, you ran your eye down the 'name' field. It is a J.S.
