How to Succeed in a Math Class
- A nice handout created by Eric Scott at HCC on effective strategies for learning
math.
Winthrop Department of Mathematics – In particular,
browsing through the site can be very useful for choosing future math classes or
exploring a math major/minor.
We Use Math – The “Careers”, “How To Succeed”, and “Did You Know?” tabs are
great reading for anybody looking for some extra motivation to study math!
