A Good Picture Of Me?

I hope that you have found the material on this web site to be useful, whether you are a student, teacher, tutor, or perhaps just someone looking for free PDF files with lots of math equations (yes, I get a lot of these queries, but to each her own!). Most of the content here has to do with SAT math and physics, with some help for those taking the ACT as well.

When I first thought about putting SAT guides up on erikthered.com in 2007, I figured that these types of things could easily be found elsewhere on the Internet, but I was surprised to find that they were not. At least, that is, if you wanted free, printable, shareable, SAT and ACT math help guides. As a math and physics tutor, I needed materials (with good quality typesetting and decent figures) that students could grab online, print out, write notes on, copy, and give to other people if they wanted to. I think the value of a tutor should mostly derive from his or her ability to teach and encourage learning, so I'm happy to provide these materials for other teachers and tutors to use as well.

Why Erik the Red? If you have reached this page looking for information about the Viking explorer, I'm afraid that there is not much here about him. But, I'm sure that Wikipedia will do the job just fine. My hair gets a bit of red in it in the summer, and I'm half Norwegian, so it just seemed like a good domain name to get a while back.

I've tried to put some care into making decently good quality guides, and I hope they are completely mistake-free. But, if that isn't the case, or if you have any suggestions, please let me know; my contact info can be found in the left hand column of tiny text.
