Additional Resources

• “Ready.. Set.. Calculus” is a booklet designed at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to help guide incoming Science and Engineering majors in assessing and practicing their “initial” mathematical skills. The problems involve arithmetic, algebra, inequalities, trigonometry, logarithms, exponentials and graph recognition and do not require the use of a calculator. The book has problems, examples and links to web pages with further help and can be used online.
