The students I have encountered in over forty years of teaching mathematics speak of studying as if they all have a common and tacit understanding of what studying entails. The results for many unfortunately do not support this premise.

You will find in the pages of this book a simple, yet effective studying paradigm that will permit you to study smarter, not harder. You only need to assemble an inexpensive set of tools and follow the pattern of study I lay out carefully for you. You will find very soon using this paradigm that how you assimilate facts, review the course content, and mentally prepare for exams will begin to build your self-confidence and eventually deliver the grades you will be proud to receive. You can do this! -Dr. Cliff
