The Math Lifesaver: http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/

For when you don't like your book, teacher, or need outside resources (I only used it for diff eq and linear algebra) but each is very well written and get right to the point


The first one I looked at gave Laplace functions and said "this list is not inclusive" instead of "exhaustive". Doesn't inspire confidence that the equations are transcribed well. We all make mistakes, just saying.

Or, perhaps it's another example of the "could care less" nonsense?


It is technically correct English though, just not used as often.

An inclusive list could be described as an exhaustive list.


If "[This] list is not inclusive." then we need to know what it is not inclusive of - it doesn't look like a complete sentence to me, ie incorrect, but grammar is admittedly not by strong suit.

One could write "This list is not inclusive of all available options." but there's a handy shorthand for that "This list is not exhaustive.". One could also write "incomplete" but that has a negative connotation.


Fantastic resource. I've been using this for the last couple weeks and it has made understanding Calculus II far easier.
