For Engineering Majors ...
Our number one priority is to help you
get a good grade in your math class. Like it or not, that is how
universities measure success, so although understanding the material
is obviously important, it doesn’t help you much if it doesn’t
translate into a good grade. Furthermore, since calculus
is a prerequisite for the vast majority of engineering classes,
we also understand the importance of getting through your math
classes as soon as possible. You have our commitment that good
GRADES and forward PROGRESS are
always our primary goal.
 That
being said, we want to emphasize the enormous value of truly understanding
what all this math actually MEANS. Math is the language
of engineering, so if you truly understand your math classes, then
your engineering classes will be infinitely easier. If you only
know how to get the right answers by just blindly manipulating
formulas
and rules that don’t really have any meaning to you, then
you may get through the class you’re in at the moment, but
you’re
just setting yourself up for way more work down the road. Obviously,
that’s not a good idea.
If we end up working together, our
main focus will definitely be the GRADE for the class you’re
in NOW. But as we’re giving
you definitive procedures for working through all the problems,
we will also be explaining the real meaning behind the math. We’re
going to give you an intuitive level of understanding on how each
of these math concepts relates to the real world and to each other. We’re going to teach you specific problem-solving skills
and techniques that will enable you attack any problem – even
the hardest of word problems – with total confidence. We’re
going to show you how to learn with maximum efficiency, so you
can spend less time studying and still accomplish what you need
to.
In other words, we’re going to give you the firm foundation
in the fundamentals that will make your future classes, both in
math and engineering, a whole lot easier.
We guarantee it.
