What resources are available for you?
There are a number of resources out there
to aid you in learning the material for this course. Here is a list, in no
particular order, of some resources to think about:
- Your Textbook and your Class notes are an excellent source of information.
You should look at examples in the text as well as examples done in class.
It is often-times helpful to look at other problems in the book!
- Make friends with other students in the class and form study groups.
The best way to learn is by teaching others! And hey, there's no reason
you can't have fun while you study.
- My office hours are a great place to ask about questions or see extra
problems worked out. If you can't make my regularly scheduled office
hours, you're welcome to set up an appointment with me. Please ask at
least a couple of days in advance.
- Your TA holds recitation sessions and office hours.
- The Math Learning
Center is an excellent resource that's completely free of charge.
- Private Tutors. At this point I do not know if the department has an
official santioned list of recommened tutors. Oftentimes you can find
postings in the math, engineering, or related fields with people offering
their services. You can find tutors
anywhere from $20-$45 an hour. You need to arrange how much time and how
often to meet with a tutor on an individual basis.
