In fact I feel pretty confident about relations too, it just happened to be the first chapter of the book, I'm sure I would have found the same problem if the first chapter had been on any other topic. > Khan Academy I have an account. I did a search for relations but I couldn't find an actual definition in writing, so I don't see what it adds to the discussion. I have nothing against Khan Academy, but I don't see the relevance. I'm not asking for resources, that's what the original thread is for, and it's absolutely plastered with comments about Khan Academy already. What I'm asking for is a discussion on how we structure our maths syllabi and how appropriate it is for what we are trying to accomplish.
