iSabio provides students with a trigonometry course that they can learn on their own.

This trigonometry course covers everything from the basics including trigonometric function definitions, the unit circle, and right triangle calculations, to more advanced and real-life applications of trigonometry like linear and angular velocity and vectors.  (Please see topics covered below.)

John Stogin utilizes iSabio’s many technological resources to provide step-by-step, in-depth teaching of high school-level trigonometry. He thoroughly covers each section, explains example problems, and even employs the most powerful mathematics software in the world, Mathematica^®, to help illustrate vital concepts in several lectures. This e-Learning course was designed for students who wish to learn the subject on their own or just want extra help with the material. It is intended for those who find reading from a textbook a difficult way to learn math and prefer audiovisual instruction.

(To those who are used to James Choi's lectures: John Stogin is a serious teacher who stays on the topic full time.  There are no jokes and no side stories in his lectures.  Those who were annoyed by James Choi's jokes will find the seriousness of John Stogin's lectures refreshing.  John Stogin's lectures are mostly textbook and whiteboard based.  He uses Mathematica animations but is very infrequent compared to James Choi's lectures.)

 

Lecturer: 

John Stogin

John Stogin graduated from New Trier High School in 2007. He received an 800 for the SAT and a 36 for the ACT in math. He is a mathematics major at Princeton University and is also interested in Physics and Computer Science.

Ever since he read a biography on Paul Erdos, John has been intrigued by mathematics and determined to share its beauty with his peers and students. As a senior in high school, John helped teach one of his school's AP Calculus BC classes. Now, he serves as college liaison for the Association of Math Teachers in New Jersey.

In high school, John was a member of the orchestra, science Olympiad team, boy scout troop, cross country team, and fencing team. His science Olympiad team became the first all-freshman team to qualify for a state competition. His experience in scouting culminated in his achievement of the highest rank in scouting, the Eagle Scout rank. In fencing, he has medaled in national tournaments, competed  in the NCAA national championships for Princeton, and competed internationally as a member of the US traveling team.

 How is iSabio different?

iSabio’s innovative e-learning format allows students to visit and re-visit difficult concepts at their leisure, completely erasing any embarrassment of having to ask a teacher to explain a concept more than once. In addition, students are able to quickly review content from any part of the course with the mere click of a mouse, removing all the tediousness of studying and trying to re-learn material from a dry textbook. Studying for exams can be engaging and even fun, as students find themselves actually understanding material better as they go back to review it rather than forgetting how they originally learned the concepts. E-learning technology allows for a versatility that simply cannot be matched in the classroom, where teachers have limited time and are unable to meet every student’s individual needs. In this way, iSabio delivers what no teacher ever could. Through this novel approach to studying and understanding mathematics, students can gain solid foundations that will support the rest of their careers in mathematics.
