It's 2 a.m. and you're stuck. You have forgotten how to "complete
the square", which you need to complete a calculus question or an
algebra question or a statistics question. Your text gives lots of examples
but none of them review the technique for completing the square.
Here comes The Mathematics Survival Kit - Maple Edition to the rescue!
First, find the page you need in the Survival Kit. Start with the quick
5 to 10 minute concise and friendly review, then solve some problems
to make sure you've got it right. Now you are ready to continue with
your homework.
The Mathematics Survival Kit contains 115 popular topics. Using high
school course outlines, standard first year university calculus and algebra
curricula, and the author's thirty years of teaching experience, it covers
a list of topics from early high school to university that typically
plague students. Like completing the square, factoring cubics, or those
annoying log properties.
Each topic is covered in a single lesson, consisting of:
- A quick review of the topic
- A first very straightforward example
- A second example illustrating a common variation
- TWO FOR YOU: two questions to try, with automatic marking, hints and
answers
- MORE TO EXPLORE: up to hundreds of randomly generated questions, to
reinforce the techniques, all with automatic marking, hints and answers
"All anybody has to do is spend ten minutes with the Math Survival
Kit e-book. Ten minutes. It will prove to you its usefulness. It covers
such a wide variety of problems, tackling each in a creative and interesting
way, that students in high school and university alike will surely find
it to be a huge help." - M. Demers, Graduate student
