This is the first time I have heard the radio chatter while the team performs their maneuvers. it is used to alert the team of changes made by the leader in power settings, control stick pressure, and to remind of the next maneuver to be performed as well as the timing of entry and exit. These guys are smooth! Really really good stuff here. Blue Angel Video Winter Training 2011 El Centro, CA

"Whether your students are learning new and difficult math concepts or simple, basic ones, switching up the way you teach it to them can be beneficial. It is exciting to see lessons and concepts taught in a new way that is unlike the traditional. If students have access to the Internet, they can be exposed to some great videos that teach them tutorials or serve as a refresher of concepts they have learned in the classroom. "

"A mathematician needs functions for the same reason that a builder needs hammers and drills. Tools transform things. So do functions. In fact, mathematicians often refer to them as "transformations" because of this. But instead of wood or steel, functions pound away on numbers and shapes and, sometimes, even on other functions."
