Calculus-Help.com is now on Facebook! If you find the site helpful, spread the word by "liking" us. Please read that carefully. You're not going to help anyone by "licking" us. That's just nasty. For every 100 likes we get, Mike is giving away a free book. Details to follow...

Big Announcement #1 (of 2)

Big news. Huge. Enormous. Large, even. A major part of Calculus-help is about to return.

The Problem of the Week is back! Each Saturday morning you can click on the "Problems" link in the site menu to see a brand-spanking-new Problem of the Week with a full solution. What can you do with a Problem of the Week? Use it to review the topics you're covering in class, or come back later and work through them to prepare for quizzes and tests. (After all, the answers are included.)

Two problems are currently posted, and the third will appear, as if by magic, by September 17. Each Saturday, until the end of the academic year, a new Problem will be posted.

Let me know what you think. This is a new era for Calculus-Help.com, but this is only phase one. Stay tuned for another Big Announcement soon.

Mike's New Book Is Full of Math, Fun, and (Hopefully Not) A Human Tooth!

Remember how excited Dorothy was when she landed in Oz? She was in a new place, filled with color and tiny people who could sing and dance perfectly choreographed routines without even rehearsing! Even better, she had a mission. Simply follow the yellow brick road and everything would be wonderful. This is powerful magic indeed. Remember, all of this frolicking is going on not twenty feet from a recently-crushed witch corpse, but no one seems to mind.

Do you feel like Dorothy, ready to step out onto the long, magical road of math, full of excitment, dread, and also pigtails and/or a tiny dog? Are you someone lost along the way to Oz and starting to wonder whether it was really worth stopping to help that scarecrow down? I mean, he can't even add fractions for the love of corn. The Humongous Book of Basic Math and Pre-Algebra Problems will take you through the poppy fields, away from the flying monkeys, and right up to the front door of Oz, all oiled up and ready to go.

Feel like you need a new brain when you're in a math class? Are your computational skills all rusty, Tin Man? Maybe a big boost of courage is all you really need to be toto-ly prepared. If you are about to take an algebra class (or have a friend that desperately needs your help), don't wait! Click this link to BUY TODAY!

Calculus-Help now 26.2% more fun!

By popular demand, this week's slate of updates heralds the return of music to Calculus-Help.com. Now available on the main links bar at the top of every page, you'll find a link to "Fun." Follow this link to listen to, or download, the (oddly) ever popular Quadratic Formula song. You may also want to settle down to the soothing lyrics of The Day Before Notebooks Are Due Blues or The A.P. Calculus Theme Song. It's not even close to the holiday season, but does that mean you can't go and enjoy some holiday carols involving Calculus? (Hint: no.)

If mathematical music is not your thing, that's okay--it's not most people's thing either. The new page o' fun also ushers in the return of the Interactive Cheat Sheet, a flash-based application that presents the most important calculus formulas in one location.

In honor of music's return to Calculus-Help.com, keep your eyes fixed on this very page, because a contest is looming. Perhaps you have a calculus song burning in your very soul. You just may get the chance to unburden said soul for prizes!
