Where To Go For Calculus I Help

ONLINE:

  1. FIU offers free help over the Internet at night and on weekends when offline tutors are unavailable. Go to http://www.fiu.edu/~gato/livetutor/ for hours and other details.
     

  2. The complete solutions manual (8th edition) and complete solutions manual (9th edition) to your textbook is online. It will ask you for a username and password, which you may obtain from your instructor. To view the Complete Solutions manual, your computer must have Adobe Acrobat Reader, a free download.
     

  3. Need graph paper and the stores are closed? Print it out from here. You will need the Acrobat Reader mentioned above.

  4. Prof. Rosenthal's lectures are available on iTunes U. After clicking on launch FIU iTunes U, FIU's iTunes page will open. Scroll down and click on College of Arts & Sciences. Then scroll down again and click on Calculus I. The videos were made when we were using the 8th edition of the text, so section numbers and page numbers mentioned in the videos will not correspond to your book. See the chart for more details on the contents of each video.  Each instructor emphasizes different material so these lectures should be used to supplement your instructor's lectures, not replace them.
