HOW TO USE THIS PAGE
To succeed in Math 135, you need an effective study strategy. We recommend the following general study cycle for each topic:
- Watch pre-lecture video playlist for topic X.
- Attend lecture and take notes on topic X.
- Start on the MyLab homework for topic X, aiming to finish before the next lecture.
- Seek help with any particularly challenging homework problems for topic X. (You can use office hours, Math Help Center, Learning Center walk-in tutoring, Learning Center Study Groups, etc.)
- Finish your homework for topic X before the next lecture.
- Work through the Exercise Manual (see resources below) for topic X.
- Repeat steps #1-#6 for each topic on the exam.
Your primary goal is step #6 (working through the Exercise Manual). But to get there and to have that time be effective, you must go through steps #1-#5.
On this page you will find the following resources:
- Pre-lecture video playlists (organized by individual topic)
- Lecture videos (organized by individual topic)
- Lecture notes (one master document for all topics)
- Exercise Manual and accompanying solutions manual (organized by individual topic)
