Welcome to the Math Hub
This hub will help you develop effective strategies for how to approach mathematics with information specific to how to study and practice math, and reduce math anxiety. It also provides some interesting ways to have fun with mathematics.
Math can be a challenging subject! Don't worry the NWP Learning Commons has put together a guide to help you solve your trickiest questions.
If you would like some one-on-one help with math, you can make an appointment with the Learning Common's Math Support Specialist, Greg Hearn.
The guide section below Study Strategies was created by Shohreh Rahmati in 2021.

| \(BEDMAS\) | \(f(x)=\frac{3x^2+5}{27x^3-8}\) |
\(y=e^x, \quad \ln y=x \)
|

|

|

|
\(ax^2+bx+c=0\) \(x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\) |
Arithmetic: \(t_{n}=t_{1}+(n-1)d\) Geometric: \(t_{n}=t_{1} \times r^{n-1}\) |

|
| \(P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) \) |
\(P(n,r) = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!} \) \(C(n,r) = \frac{n!}{r! \times (n-r)!} \) |

\(y=af(b(x-h))+k\) \((x,y) \rightarrow (\frac{x}{b}+h,ay+k)\) |
\(h(x)=f \circ g(x)\) \(h(x)=f(g(x))\)
|
\(f(x) \pm g(x)=f \pm g(x)\) \(f(x) \times g(x)=f \times g(x)\) |

\[ \lim_{x \to a} f(x) = L \]
|
\[f'(a)= \lim_{x \to a} \frac{f(x)-f(a)}{x-a}\] \[f'(x)= \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}\] |
