- Here is a list of suggested exercises from the textbook. The list contains suggested exercises for all book's section, but of course you should only do those regarding material that has been covered in class already. Do them! (Really, do them!)
- Here is a list of must-not-do mistakes. This list contains a series of mistakes that I believe are common or, anyway, tempting for students to make. A lot of those mistakes are particularly nasty because, making even just one of them while solving an exercise will almost surely cause you to get to a wrong answer. Please read the disclaimer at the beginning of the PDF document, in order to learn how to read it properly. The list will be updated with new mistakes to be avoided as me move on with the course.
If you search around, there are many available resources that could help you with various aspects related to the course. I just want to mention a few of them.
- Wolframalpha. You can use this website to plot functions and also to compute many things you will encounter in this course (limits, derivatives, integrals). In particular, this means that Wolframalpha can give you the answers to most of your exercises. The right way of making use of this feature is to first try to solve the exercise on your own and get to an answer and then use Wolframalpha to confirm your solution. Beware that, in some cases such as computations of integrals, if the solution given there appears different from your own, that does not necessarily mean that your solution is wrong.
- Geogebra. You can use this very intuitive website to plot and sketch graphs of functions.
- If you are feeling a bit rusty with the prerequisites or if you want to make sure you know them well enough, you can check here (for some Algebra review) and here (for some Geometry review).
