WHERE  TO  GO  FOR  FREE  FINITE MATH 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 to your textbook is online. It will ask you for a username and password, which your instructor will provide in class. To view the Complete Solutions manual, your computer must have Adobe Acrobat Reader. To download this free software, go to www.adobe.com
     
  3. Need graph paper and the stores are closed? Print it out from here. You will need the Acrobat Reader mentioned above.
     
  4. If you miss class, you can watch Prof. Rosenthal's online movies. These movies are of poor video quality and you should allow a couple of minutes for the picture to un-digitize. The audio should be fine.
     
  5. If you bought a new text, it comes with an access code for MyMathLab, an online homework delivery system with a built-in tutorial. If your instructor doesn't have his/her own MyMathLab section, you can register into our campus-wide section using these instructions.
