Title: Traverse Diagrams
Post by: lalala on September 08, 2009, 09:37:38 pm

Just wondering if traverse diagrams are part of the old study design, or do we still need to know them?

i think they're part of the old. but they're not hard to know, they use the same concepts as normal geometry.

What's a traverse diagram?  I don't think it's in Essentials.

Ah ok.  In that case, I guess it would probably be in the Geometry and Trigonometry module if it was still in the course, right?

Yep I reckon so too. The earlier practice exams do have questions on traverse diagrams, but I haven't attempted newer exams yet.
