Integrating
Precalculus Review with Calculus
An IDEA
that works!
Have you heard any of
these remarks?
I
understand the calculus, but I can't do the algebra.
I
know how to
find a maximum, but I don't know how to set up the problem.
Math
doesn't
come easily to me—I need to see all the steps.
Have you made any
of these remarks?
Students
say
they never saw this before and I taught it to them last semester in
Precalculus!
These
students
need more time to learn all this material.
I
don't have
time to review algebra every time they need it in calculus.
The IDEA:
A one-year college course that
integrates the review of precalculus topics on a just-in time basis.
