Every college science class requires this: Understand ðŒðððªð§ððð® ð«ðš. ðð§ððððšðð€ð£. Sign up for courses at socratica.com
ð You know how you spend the first few weeks of every course (Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Geology, Engineering) reviewing the same math topics? Accuracy vs Precision; Significant Figures; Scientific Notation, etc.?
This series of videos will help you with the Math Prerequisites you'll need for pretty much every science & engineering course you'll take in college.

In this video, we'll make it CLEAR: what's the difference between ACCURACY and PRECISION? They're related, but distinct ideas.
It helps to visualize a dart board.
ð¯ ACCURACY = how close your darts are to the target.
ð PRECISION = how close your darts are to each other.
Another way to think about PRECISION is when you use a tool to make measurements. The finer the markings, the more PRECISE it is. So a ruler marked in centimeters is less precise than a ruler marked in tenths of centimeters. The more precise the measurement, the more certain you can be that measurements will be close to each other.
