subjects (including both University and lower level subjects).
Dr. Math Another free help site.
Study Skills Online This is an excellent web site with some great discussion of
study skills by Martin Greenhow. The site has some occasional comments
pertaining to the school Dr. Greenhow teaches but is a great site that goes
into much greater detail than I do here in my "How To Study Math" section.
Free Math Help This is a forum in which you can get help in Algebra,
Geometry and Calculus. You need to register, but the registration is free.

Software
Here are are some links to some nice software packages that you may find
useful. Some of the software is free and others must be purchased.
Math 911 This is a nice program for help in Algebra.
Equation Grapher This is a nice (and free) program for graphing basic graphs.
They also have a program that can do regression analysis.
Peanut Software This is a nice collection of free programs. Included are
programs that will do basic statistics computations, discrete math
computations, matrix computations, graph geometric figures, graph fractals,
and a general function grapher.
Graphing Calculator This is a really nice graphing program. It is capable of
graphing in 2 or 3 dimensions and it capable of dealing with all the standard
coordinate systems that you're liable to run across in a calculus course. The
only drawback is that it does cost, but it's much cheaper than other programs
with it's graphing capabilities.
Mathematica This is the program that I used to generate many of the graphs
on this site (or at least the base graphs, many of the equations where later
added using Photoshop....). This is a very nice program capable of doing
pretty much any math you'd like to do. They also sell a student version of the
program.
Wolfram|Alpha This is a really nice web interface to most (maybe all?) of

Mathematicas capabilities. It is simple to use and best of all is free which


makes it a really nice resource!
Maple This is another program like Mathematica and is even capable of doing
some graduate level mathematics. They also sell a student version.
Mathcad Another computer algebra system along the lines of Maple and
Mathematica. They sell a student version and have a reduced functionality
free version.
Maxima Yet another computer algebra system along the lines of Maple and
Mathematica. This is an open source project that arose out of of one of the
first computer algebra systems, Macsyma (I actually remember using
Macsyma back in the day!) and is free.
Matlab This is a really nice program for doing numerical computations. It is
used in a wide variety of engineering and mathematics applications and is
probably one of the most well known/used programs for numerical
computations. It is however quite expensive.
Scilab This is a essentially a Matlab clone. It may not be capable of all the
really advanced things that Matlab is, but for most of the everyday
applications it is just as capable as Matlab. One of the nice features of Scilab
is that it is free.
Online Calculators
Here are a variety of online resources that will do some automatic
calculations for you.
eCalc This is a really nice online calculator that is also capable of dealing with
complex numbers.
Unit Converter This is a nice unit converter.
QuickMath An online calculator for a variety of Algebra problems.
Webmath.com This site has will do many types of computations online from
Algebra to Calculus. The site will not only give answers but the steps required
to get most of the answers.
Algebra Help Calculators Here are the calculators at Algebrahelp.com.
Calculator.com This has just about every kind of basic calculator that you can
think of, including most of the various kinds of conversion calculators that
you'd ever need.
Automatic Calculus and Algebra Help This site has some can compute a

variety of Algebra and Calculus problems.
