MATH 111
A Summary of Concepts Needed to be Successful in Mathematics
The following sheets list the key concepts that are taught in the specified math course. The sheets present
concepts in the order they are taught and give examples of their use.
WHY THESE SHEETS ARE USEFUL
To help refresh your memory on old math skills you may have forgotten.
Students who successfully review spend from four to five hours on this material. We recommend that you
cover up the solutions to the examples and try working the problems one by one. Then, check your work by
looking at the solution steps and the answer.
KEEP IN MIND
These sheets are not intended to be a short course. You should use them simply to help you determine at
what skill level in math you should begin study. For many people, the key to success and enjoyment of
learning math is in getting started at the right place. You will, most likely, be more satisfied and
comfortable if you start onto the path of math and science by selecting the appropriate beginning stepping
stone.
