You might’ve wondered why no two people are alike at some point in your life. One of the key foundations that make you, well, you, is DNA. Because DNA is so important, it’s vital for our bodies to have ways to fix it when it becomes damaged. In fact, your DNA is damaged and repaired every single day, and you probably don’t even realize it.
Read MoreOnce learned, Riemann sums can help you save time in finding the area under a curve. This blog will explain what they are, how to do them, and how to tackle different types of Riemann Sums.
Read MoreLearning about exponents is important as you move on to more advanced math. You no longer need to struggle because this blog is your guide to learning about exponents! While this seems like a tough topic right now, continue reading!
Read MoreIf you examine the world around you, you’ll find that data is everywhere. Weather reports, sports statistics, and your grades in school! This blog will teach you how to use central tendency and dispersion, and how they could be used in everyday life!
Read MorePi or Pie? We’ll take both. But, in this blog, we’ll be discussing the one without an “e.” In short, Pi is the relationship between a circle’s diameter and circumference. Still doesn’t make sense? We get it. Read more about the history of Pi and how to find it!
Read MoreAre you having trouble figuring out how to convert ⅕ into a percentage? Well, look no further because you’ve come to the right place! We’ve broken down each concept with examples and practice problems so you can follow along!
Read MoreWhat exactly is a cell? The tiny things that Robert Hooke discovered under a microscope? The smallest unit of life? The functional and structural unit of all living organisms? All those statements are correct!
Read MoreIf parts of your math background are weak, don’t feel bad. This is just a diagnosis, not a criticism of you. Remember that doctors diagnose illness not to put you down, but so they will know how to help you get well. Similarly, knowing what the problem is in schoolwork is your first step toward fixing it.
Read MoreHave you ever wondered how your body is able to make the proteins it needs to function? It is all thanks to the code written in your DNA which can then be transcribed into RNA “code” and then translated into a protein. These proteins serve vital functions like enzymes that break down the food you eat!
Read MoreEvaluation basic functions are necessary to build a good foundation before you approach more advanced topics such as graphing functions and finding inverses. This blog will teach you how to solve simple functions!
Kinematics is a physics principle that studies movement. Specifically, 1D kinematics calculates motion of objects moving one way: up, down, or horizontally. We use three basic equations to find different aspects of moving objects. This blog post will help you understand how to solve these equations!
Read MoreFunctions are one of the most integral parts of mathematics. While they may seem daunting and confusing, functions are actually quite simple!
Read MoreTranscription and translation can be confusing. Here is a simple explanation through its three steps: initiation, elongation, and termination.
Read MoreThis simple introduction will explain what radians are and how to calculate them. We don’t use radians in our everyday lives but you don’t need to feel intimidated by this unit of measurement.
Read MoreIf you find yourself struggling in Bio class, it is time to step back and come up with a game plan. High school science teachers gave UPchieve 5 top tips to excel in biology.
Read MoreThis blogs explains how organisms constantly change and adapt around us. The evolutionary process continues from Darwin’s days to now-a-days and from microbes to moths.
Read MoreBy taking the time to master the foundations of geometry, you’ll be able to solve more challenging problems with confidence.
Read MoreWe review the three standard approaches to solving quadratic equations and cover when you may (or may not) want to apply each.
Read MoreQuadratic equations are a special type of algebraic equations with unique applications. We cover the basics of quadratic equations and how to identify them both algebraically and graphically.
Read MoreAlgebraic expressions can be found in everyday life, but it takes time to master the identification, interpretation, and simplification of these expressions. In this post, we’ll practice simplifying and interpreting algebraic expressions by calculating sale prices.
