If you really, really hate Math but you have to take this course (for whatever reason, temporary insanity, etc.) check out this link
OK, so you have to take this course... Now what? Use this web site daily or whenever you can in order to access and try as many of the options, examples, exercises, old assignments offered herein.
Review your High-School math notes (all of them, if you still have them). You really should have a good grasp of Algebra and Trigonometry, - these subjects form the basics of Calculus, the bare skeleton. You really need to know this stuff. Get the book for the course and start reviewing Chapter 1 and look at the Appendices for a review of the basics.
Even though there are no compulsory assignments anymore due to the presence of LLM's
do the old ones on this site and in the book at the end of every section (They are under the header: Suggested Homework Problems). They will help you to understand
the subject matter. Also, every week or two look over the past tests and final
exams on Brightspace or whatever we are using as a LMS and see which questions you can do (or should be able to do).
If you don't know how to do one, ask your TA. If that doesn't work
come and see me during my Office Hours.
