                     POLYHEDRA - JORGE REZENDE

            http://gfm.cii.fc.ul.pt/Members/JR.en.html

   Professor Rezende of the Mathematics Department of the
   Faculty of Science of the University of Lisbon has written a
   variety of puzzles with polyhedra and numbers.

   Download PDFs, print them out, and then follow Rezende's
   instructions to build the polyhedra. For each puzzle, place
   the number plates over the polyhedron faces in such a way
   that the two numbers near each edge of the polyhedron are
   equal.

                PREPARING FOR UNIVERSITY CALCULUS

      http://www.math.mun.ca/~apics/calculus/Booklet.html

   The Mathematics and Statistics Committee of the Atlantic
   Provinces Council on the Sciences has posted a booklet
   entitled "Preparing for University Calculus." Neither a
   textbook nor a formal diagnostic test, the booklet offers
   sample questions and hints of the sort often found on
   calculus placement tests.

   Their web page, "Preparing for University Calculus," answers
   frequently asked questions about university level calculus
   courses, such as "What math will I need in university?" and
   "What is calculus?"
