If you're still struggling with this, I posted a mathematical solution to a three-point problem in the question marathon.
That uses matrices? I remember only needing geometry to do it / no equation solving required...(not that your way is bad, I just mean that I suck at matrices:/)
Nah, it's just a quick way of solving a three-equation system. You can use elimination, substitution, etc.

You can also use geometry, but I like algebra more and suck at drawing :P

Drawing isn't necessary anyway, although with a graphing calculator matrices work just fine.

I believe that Youtube is the best resource for this, simply because the powerpoints and textbooks available are very confusing without a professor to explain what they mean. One such video is here. Hope this helps!

Hey guys, I'm new to Geologic, and I was wondering if last years Dynamic materials would be useful for Geo?

Yep, but geologic mapping also has a bunch of other stuff involving maps, strike, dip, etc.

You could check out the wiki, check out a past test and start trying to understand the questions, and/or start looking up info about every section of the rules.

Hey guys
I got placed into geologic mapping in my school tryouts and I have no clue where and how to start studying. Can anyone offer good sites to help me study? Also, do the soinc cds help?

No clue about the CDs though. They're generally helpful, but I'm not sure about the Geologic Mapping one.

Last year's dynamic planet covers A LOT of what you need to know, so you can find that in the wiki here. Thoroughly going through plate tectonics covers most of the geology that's tested. You can test your mapping by taking practice tests, and then looking up Youtube on what you don't know. And, as always, read the wiki.
