Useful Videos and Links
Note: These videos DO NOT follow the textbook we use in this class exactly. However, many of them cover similar topics and I think they are very useful as a reference. They could also be useful when you get stuck on some of your homework problems. Always watch the videos with a critical thinking mindset, always questions every step in the solution, pay careful attention to small details. Is it logical? Is the formula applied appropriately and correctly? Is there an easier way to solve the problem? What is the difference between various examples?
