Recommended textbooks

  • Engineering Mathematics — K.A. Stroud

    8th ed. — outstanding worked examples; used across all years

  • Further Mathematics — Tuttuh-Adegun, Sivasubramaniam & Adegoke

    West African secondary/early uni standard; bridges the gap well

How to pass MTH 111

  • Work at least 10 practice problems per topic — mathematics is only learnt by doing
  • Keep a formula sheet and update it every week; review before each lecture
  • Khan Academy is free and covers every topic in this course at the right level
  • Form a study group: explaining a solution to a classmate reveals whether you truly understand it
