For those going into First-Year Eng... - MacInsiders - Student-run McMaster University Help Forum

or I guess any other program that takes similar courses.

During my first-year I looked around for any help I could get for those math and physics tests and I came across a large collection of videos to do so. The explanations and examples are clear and easy to understand and helped a lot for those times when reading the textbook just didn't cut it. That being said, we do have a great extra help at Mac so don't disregard that lol but these just became convenient. Anyway I'll stop blabbering on about all that stuff, here's the site I made:

Hope you're all enjoying summer!

Wow, excellent! Thanks!

Yeah, double post. FYI kiddies, I was going through his site, and this is magnificent. Extremely well put together nevermind the quality of the content (which he may not have had that much input to lol). All in all, I would put in a second thank button for this situation.

It's time to get on this.

Awesome stuff! I remember using a few of those vids for Math 1Z04 last year. Very helpful!

BTW maybe you should put that physics game that was posted on WebCT with Dr. McKay on your site too. With permission of the creator though of course. I found that quite helpful before the exam and I bet they just reuse the same lecture slides anyways haha.

If anyone wants to buy old textbooks let me know. I've got ALL engineering textbooks for sale.
(and a lab coat that I never opened and goggles, which I wore unfortunately)

Yea, good thing I didnt end up buying the lab coat.. pretty useless imo

I had the urge to remake it the entire time I was playing because it looked so crappy :p. That was really nice of the guy who made it though; I'm sure there were a lot of people that borderline passed because of it.

Took me a damn long time to figure out how to jump in that game haha. Anyhoozle, I don't think the profs would be happy with everyone choosing the right answer just because they have the answers, rather than actually understanding the material. Could be counter productive, though its a good study tool later on.
