ThinkQuest Team 20991 is Rob Andrus, John Pruess, and Garrett Stettler.
First, we'd like to thank ThinkQuest
for giving us the opportunity to explore our computer and
math skills (if you can call them "skills") in creating
a useful educational site. This site earned an Honorable Mention award
in the 1998 competition and the GEM Award in 2000.
Second, we'd like to thank Mr. Hollist, who signed
all those forms for us. :-)
Next, we'd like to thank our parents and families for
putting up with us "morons" and the hours we spent
staring mindlessly (or so it seemed to them) at computer monitors
late into the night.
We would also like to thank everyone who has visited the site and provided
feedback. A special thanks goes to the "regulars" on
the message boards who have helped make this site a useful resource to many people.

All graphics created by TQ Team 20991 using the following programs:
The HTML Reference Library
helped us to actually remember all the HTML tags and how to use them.
Microsoft and Netscape
provided free web browsers.
Sophisticated programs like Windows Notepad and BBEdit were
used to write the HTML and JavaScript.
Matt's Script Archive
provided the message board CGI.
Thanks to Texas Instruments for their "brains" (calculators).
Go to their education site
to download programs and resources for your brain. You can also visit
c2 coding and ticalc.org.
Pre-Algebra
We used Addison-Wesley Pre-Algebra by Phares G.
O'Daffer, Stanley R. Clemens, and Randall I. Charles for reference.
Thanks to chemistry teacher Mr. Stevens for letting us take the
above mentioned book from him.
Algebra
We used the best math book ever published, Algebra I: An Incremental
Development by John H. Saxon, Jr. for reference.
Thanks to our calculus lab teacher, Mrs. Agrapides, for letting us take her
doorstop (the above mentioned book).
Geometry
We used Harper & Row Geometry by Max A. Sobel, Evan M. Maletsky, Brother
Neal Golden, S.C., Norbert Lerner, and Louis C. Cohen for reference.
Algebra II
We used Algebra and Trigonometry by Mervin L. Keedy, Marvin L.
Bittinger, Stanley A. Smith, and Lucy J. Orfan for reference.
We also used The ShawNotesTM - Pre-Calculus
ed. and The ShawNotesTM - AB
Calculus Study Notes, compiled by J.M. Shaw w/contributions
by M. Agripides and G. Taylor for reference.
Thanks to Mrs. Larsen for putting up with Garrett and John in her
class along with a whole slew of hooligans such as Lemon®, Crookston,
Russ, the kid named Jon Schaefer, and Ashby (the kid who could scare a social
worker). A special thanks to Mrs. Larsen for having her early
morning study sessions that helped us out immensely.
Pre-Calculus/Calculus
We used (once again) The ShawNotesTM - Pre-Calculus
ed. and The ShawNotesTM - AB
Calculus Study Notes, compiled by J.M. Shaw w/contributions
by M. Agripides and G. Taylor for reference.
Since Pre-Calc and Calc were the most fun math classes we took
during our high school "careers," a special thanks goes
to Mr. Shaw, Mr. Taylor, and Mrs. Agrapides for keeping us
interested in math. Shaw kept us coming to class, if not for
math, to see what antics he could come up with that day. (Chalk-throwing
was our favorite). Taylor kept calc interesting because he was able
to explain it, even when it got really confusing. Agrapides, well...at least
we were on task. :-) No, really, lab's been a great class!
Thanks to Jane, Travis (O.D.D.), Jeff, J.D., and Jared for making
calc. an entertaining and fun class.
