Hello there everybody!
How are you doing? You may not have noticed yet – I haven’t checked the scheduled posts, but I’ve scheduled posts up to well into 2024 and today, I decided that this blog will stay alive long enough that perhaps I could begin posting twice per month instead of simply once, in order to get these posts out.
This particular post is the first of the series of posts that I will be posting. I really hope that I will be able to keep this up from now on… if not, I’m sorry in advance!
So, today, one of my students asked me a question about derivatives, and I realize that not everyone in sec 5 sees this, but some schools do, and some of you in CEGEP may be going through that. When I was in CEGEP myself, I wish I would have had access to these notes, so I wanted to share this resource with you.
What is this?
I would like to present to you Paul’s Online Math Notes. This website is from a Professor (Paul, I’m guessing, but I mean, I’m not sure, I have never met the person) at Lamar University.
This website has been revamped at the writing of this post, because it did not look like that back when I was in CEGEP/College. It looks pretty good, honestly. It was made for his students as well as for anyone who wanted to learn, along with people who, like me, wish to remember a few notions on derivatives, integrals, etc. I also think that this website could be used for professors who need to find other assignments, etc. (maybe? I’m not sure what the reality in a CEGEP classroom/school is like, nor what the lesson planning may look like… I’d be very interested in learning more about those…).
I love the fact that it is free and that it is so extensive.
What does this website offer?
Not only does this website include notes for various math notions (derivatives and integrals, but also some on trigonometry and algebra), but you can now also download the notes in PDF format. It also includes exercises and practice problems that you can check out.
I really hope this was useful to you!
Please feel free to explore his website, it is seriously really good and a grade-saviour, Paul really knows what he’s teaching,
See you next month!
