Comments
Hello, I am a mathematics teacher in Seoul Science High School in Korea. I hope that I can use your tikz code for my text book. If you give me permission, I will modify your code slightly and quote this cite.
Would you please give me permission for this?
You can use it, as it's published under creative commons licence 2.5.
Hi,
Can I use your codes to make a note on Trig Review Sheet for my Calc. II students?
Thanks.
