Hello, just want to keep the neurons firing

[EmptySetBlues]

Hello to all. I've retained my interest in math into retirement even though it didn't much figure into my career. I'll have a look around and see what's going on here. In fact, I'm posting a problem that I think I've solved for myself, although not so happy it happened so quickly. I wanted more adventure!

1. I am 56 (soon to be 57).

2. I graduated from college in June 1994.

3. I also love math.

4. Currently learning College Algebra and Calculus 1 with the help of a friend on this website. Yes, two different courses. It is a self-study effort.

5. Take a look at all my Precalculus threads. All replies and math work make excellent study notes.

Your username is familiar to me. Did you just join this website?

@nycmathguy: I'll take a look. Have a look at my 3D couch problem thread in Other Math. I was all set for high adventure in Mathland, since 3D versions of geometric problems can be real buggers, but, well, facts is facts... I'll have to cook up another project.
I just joined. I made the name up at random, the sort of thing almost anybody would come up with. Haven't been on this or any other math forums much yet, so I haven't seen many other usernames.
I'm 68 and never finished college due to finances. I just try to keep up on my own. Always liked math.

1. I meant the username for Ian.

2. I am a member here as a learner not a tutor. Thus, I am not ready to answer 3D geometry math problems above the high school level, anyway.

3. Hey, 68 is not old. You are no longer a teenager but 68 is relatively young.

4. I want to introduce you to Professor Leonard on You Tube. Leonard's math video clips are amazingly fun and easy to understand. He is truly gifted.
