  • Firstly, skim-read the material in the ebook, to see how it might help you.
  • When you come across a mathematical concept in your course material that you are uncertain about, refer back to the ebook
  • As you work through the ebook, attempt the questions:  you can use paper and pencil to do the working out, then check your results by using the Answer link.
