Online Math Jumpstart

Welcome!  If you are looking for resources to review concepts vital to a strong start in Precalculus & Calculus, I have created the following videos to help.  For improved accessibility, I am working to edit the captions on the videos.

If you are accessing these videos to help you prepare for the UC Davis Math Placement Exam, you can find more information about the testing windows each term here:  Math Placement Requirement
