We are continuing to expand the student and teaching resource site at

http://www.hofstra.edu/~matscw/realworld.html

* On-Line Tutorials:
We now have on-line interactive tutorials with multiple-choice self-test 
items on many finite math and applied calculus topics, inlcuding:
  "Rule of three" approach to computing limits (includiong animated 
graphics)
  "Rule of three" approach to computing derivatives
  Techniques of differentiation (through chain rule)
  Gauss Jordan/row reduction of matrices with Java software that pivots 
in 
  integer, rational, and floating-point modes
  Sample spaces and probability
and many more

  * Complete On-Line Text Materials
The site has chapter-length text (complete with exercise sets and 
answers to odd-numbered exercises) on:
  Introduction to Logic (Scout Selection Award)
  Calculus of Trig Functions (for applied calculus)
  Probability and Calculus
  
You will also find:

* Detailed topic summaries for finite math and applied basic calculus 
(18 topics in all) including definitions, basic formulas, and outlines 
of procedures

* 18 Clickable true-false quizzes covering all the main topics usually 
covered in a two-semester course on applied finite math and calculus

* A growing collection of miscellaneous exercises with answers 
(submissions of new exercises welcome!)

* Mac freeware created by Steve Costenoble (5 items in all): Graphing 
(embedded postscript graphics), Simplex Method, Row operations/Pivoting, 
Matrix Algebra, (matrices can be pasted into word processing documents) 
and a desktop scientific calculator.

Although some of the resources are designed to follow the chapters of 
"Finite Mathematics Applied to the Real World" and "Calculus Applied to 
the Real World" (which we advertise at the web site), they are for the 
most part quite generic, and thus independent of the text. 

Comments and suggestions for improvement most welcome. Watch the site 
for further enhancements!

Sincerely,

PS. The website uses sub- and superscripts, and tables, and has been 
tested on Netscape 2.0 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0. The tutorial 
section uses frames, and the Java applets require Java-capable browsers.
