Mathematics Quick Reference for Early University

This book provides concise summaries of several early university courses in mathematics. These are: Preparatory mathematics including algebra, log and power rules, inequalities, and trigonometry, Calculus in one and two variables, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, and Discrete Mathematics, together with a chapter on getting started using mathematics software Matlab, Mathematica, and Python. An index of topics is included for rapidly locating topics of interest, which takes the reader to definitions, important concepts and examples of how to solve associated problems. The book is particularly useful for students who wish to recall what they have learned in previous courses as they go on to further study and for reinforcing key concepts of a current mathematics course. Mathematics teachers will also find this book useful as it gives an overview of topics, serves to remind how several kinds of mathematics problems are solved, and quick access to methods of mathematical problem solving will help to avoid the potentially embarrassing situation of not recalling how to answer some questions asked by students. Since the book is 115 pages including preface and contents, it is easy to carry around.
