Resources
This page is aimed at students who are looking for resources beyond the textbook and homework problems.
Software
While calculators and computers are not allowed on exams, learning to use them effectively will aid you in your applications of calculus in the future. See this list of math software packages to get started. I help develop Sage, and recommend it in particular.
Online
There are many resources for learning calculus online. Here is a sample, but you should explore on your own!
- MIT's OpenCourseWare offers videos, textbooks and courses which can provide a different perspective on a topic you might be struggling with.
- Sage's Calculus Tutorial mixes calculus and Sage.
- CALCULUS.ORG offers a lengthy list of calculus related sites, including the two above.
- Math Stack Exchange is a question and answer site aimed at calculus and beyond.
The society of p-adicts was founded in 2012 by Clifton Cunningham and David Roe. You can find the current run of T-shirts here. Note that orders are only fulfilled if enough T-shirts are ordered within a two week period (see the counter at the bottom of the page). If you place an order but it's not fulfilled, you won't be charged. Gather together other p-adicts to make sure you can get a shirt!
