Here are some things you will find useful soon. I will go over most of these things in lecture today.
1. Math guide. It is by no means "short" as the title suggests, and I do not expect you to read the entire thing in detail. Rather, treat it as a collection of mathematical facts that you might find useful throughout the course.
2. Problem solving template. I will go over this in lecture, but it is meant to give you a structure you can use to assist in solving problems. It will not make the process purely mechanical, but it should serve to guide your thought process in solving problems (particularly as they get more difficult later on). You are not required to use this template for homework, but it is strongly suggested.
3. Wolfram Alpha. If this thing can't solve your math problem, either it doesn't have a solution or you've posed the question poorly. Try this, or this, or this to see a few things it can do.
4. PH125 solved problems. When I taught PH125 last, I used the same book. Detailed solutions for a good number of problems. Even more to see in the root directory here.
