<p>Hi, you may have read some of my previous threads, but I am now embarking on a computer science degree. I am decent in math, but usually need a tutor to help me get through it and as you know CS has a ton of math involved. Anyway, at my old school they had tutors to help me do the problems but I am now transferring to a 4 year university and they have no tutors here so I am on my own. I really don't want to buy a tutor out of pocket, so I am looking for some computer site or program that I could buy that would really help me with my math problems. Does anyone have any good recommendations?</p>
<p>What math class do you need help with?</p>
<p>your school should have free tutoring. why don’t you use that?</p>
<p>The school should have some resource to assist you. Maybe the TA or Professor can help? Also check out <a href=“https://www.khanacademy.org/[/url]”>https://www.khanacademy.org/</a>
They have some great videos on math that will probably help</p>

<p>I’ve heard my new school (UNF’s) tutoring system is lousy compared to my old community college. </p>

<p>thanks I will have to check that out. Also does anyone know of any other sites that could help me out. I would even be willing to pay for them, if it is a reasonable price.</p>
<p>There are plenty of online sites that offer math help, such as Chegg (Cramster) and Wolfram MathWorld. Possibly, if you give us an idea of what you’re having problems with, we can direct you to a more specific source of help.</p>
<p>If you visit the web page for Paul’s online math notes, he has most the math you will learn for CS aside from Statistics and Discrete Math.</p>

<p>Ok thanks folks. Also, I heard UNF does have some pretty decent tutors so I think I’m gonna be alright.</p>
<p>Office hours. And as somebody who has Dr. Dawkins (Paul) for a teacher, his notes are pretty awesome.</p>
<p>If you don’t have luck with one of the school tutors, don’t be afraid to talk to their boss and try and get a new one. I work as a student tutor, and you’d be surprised at how many students are afraid to try to get a new tutor. But if you’re paying for the tutor in tuition and fees, there shouldn’t be a problem in you expressing your displeasure at a tutor’s performance.</p>
<p>You might also try looking at Coursera courses if you want a fresh perspective on things. For example, for single variable calculus, I absolutely cannot recommend the course given by Dr. Robert Ghrist at U. Penn enough, and it is [available</a> on Coursera for free](<a href=“https://www.coursera.org/course/calcsing]available”>https://www.coursera.org/course/calcsing)!</p>
<p>The problem there is just that it is time consuming since they are essentially free college classes that aren’t for credit.</p>
<p>I second boneh3ad’s statement. Coursera has very well organized courses and, though free without being able to earn credit, you will learn as much as you would in a good quality college course. This will surely help you be a step ahead when you actually take a calculus course.</p>
<p>I will definitely check that guy out. Thanks.</p>
