Calculus Help, Spring 2002
Last modified on
So, you want help with Calculus I or II ? If you are one of my students, and have already tried reading your book, I would recommend these options, all on the FIU campus:
Live Help:
See me! for my office hours,
check my home page or your syllabus
Email Me! I can usually respond
within 36 hours on weekdays.
Try the Learning Center in PC
247, appt suggested, 348-2180
Try GC 216, or call 348-2436
(it's not just for minorities).
In the Math Dept, try DM 409C
(possibly intended for Pre-calculus students
(?))
Try to join (or form) a study
group with your classmates
My ex-students have recommended The Calculus Companion, which goes with Anton's text. They have not found alternative textbooks to help them much - as far as I know. I've found a few promising web sites which you can look into. Don't use such sites for doing assigned homework problems. Please let me know what else you discover, and I'll post it here for the other students.
Online Help:
FIU
Calculus Links, including Temple U's online graded
quizzes
Rosenthal's
page.Calculus-help ExploreMath
(trig "games" etc)
Visual
Calculus Harvey
Mudd Calculus
I found a free downloadable "graphing calculator" called MathGV (recommended) at the Calculus-help site, which I have already used a lot. You can click here to graph functions of x and t (the graphs move). It's fun and probably good practice too.
Hudson's Online Help: (mostly experimental - especially towards the bottom!):
Calculus
Exams from previous semesters.
A
Velocity Example for Calc I, includes an animation
Integration,
for Calc II.
Trig Values (4-6
short pages, plus a quiz. A fairly complete review)
Trig and Limits
(viewed on the circle) for early Calc I,
"Hank's Algebra Lab" (a short
goofy quiz, in Pastoral-style) not good w Netscape.
Trig
Review (a similar idea, but in Halloween-style. It's
functional, but still under construction)
Or Calculus I, pages (2) or (3)
(just one question each - don't bother!).
