View Full Version : Odd request

I know it's a bit odd but I'm trying to find high school/college math work packets. It's been years since I've done any math and I'm afraid I've lost quite a bit.
Basically I'd just like Algebra - Calculus. Over 100 questions in each would be nice... over 1000 would be ideal. I've found some but they're 25 bucks a book plus shipping. :dead:

I think I might have an old algebra 2 book kickin around... I will check when I get home from class.

I can sometimes get free books from my job, i can take a look if we have anything seemingly useful.

Where do you stay BK? Let me know, I've got loads of stuff. I can probably spare books and exercise sheets if you're in the UK, but I'm too poor at the moment to send them overseas.
I know how you feel mate. I used to be a bloody physics genuius, and last year I was working on a physics engine and had serious problems remembering all the equations and relationships.

Damn it! Dang it! ARGGGHHHGHGHH!
I always keep everything forever, just in case someone might need it or could use it or whatever. Well after holding on to them for like 8 years I freaking just dumped them a few weeks ago, as no one I knew had ANY use for them whatsoever. What am I talking about? I had these disks, a whole set. From Algebra to Calculus. You installed them and it taught you the math you needed and had tons of problems to practice on. They were great.
Crap. crap crap. They were actually really good, but no one I knew needed them so I think they got taken out with the rest of the winter cleaning crap. I will look for them though, as they were pretty much perfect for what you needed, other than being digital form. Crap.

You could always go to hotmath.com
They have the "CPM" or "College Prepatory Mathemeatics" books with problems and their solutions that you could work on for free, from algebra 1 (middle school) up through calculus I think.
honestly, these books are terrible. They don't actually teach you how to do anything, and they don't explain things in simple terms or give you the equation you need outright. It's stuck underneath needless rhetoric and details that you don't actually need. But hey, you can try find free problems and their solutions at that site and see if they do anything for ya.

Here is a bank of old vector calculus (Calc III) tests from Georgia Tech: http://www.math.gatech.edu/~harrell/2401/
Calc I Tests: http://www.math.gatech.edu/~bourbaki/math1501/html/sampletests.html
Can't find any of my Calc II tests.

MAN
there are these extremely crazy buildings called libraries. Inside they have books... and they let you take them home for free provided you return them.

I forgot that my box of old school books was at my 'rents house... next time I am over there (probably this weekend) I will find that stupid book and see what else I can dig up (maybe something I can amazon. woo!)
