Additional Resources

• The Math Department operates a Math Help Room at each campus. They are free, and you do not need an appointment—just drop in anytime they are staffed. The Rose Hill location is JMH 410, and the Lincoln Center location is Lowenstein 810/812. Here is a link to the Math Help Room schedules.
• Students looking for additional assistance outside of the classroom are encouraged to consider working with a peer tutor through Knack. Tutors are paid by Fordham -- students do not pay. To view available tutors and get started, visit fordham.joinknack.com.
• Desmos.com provides a free online graphing calculator. They also have a free app for mobile devices.
• WolframAlpha.com provides a search bar for everything mathematical.
• Calculus.org has links to supplemental notes, examples, practice exams, etc.
• Here is a condensed Review of Essential Algebra Concepts and Skills for Calculus that you may find helpful, especially if it has been some time since you were last in a math classroom. It ends with lots of practice exercises and includes solutions so you can test yourself.
• Here is another review of What to know before taking calculus with lots of links to lecture-style videos.

Lectures and Assignments

After each class, an online homework covering that day's material is assigned through WebAssign (WA) and should be completed before the next class. Approximately every two weeks, a take-home quiz will be assigned, posted below, and due two classes later.
