I have let my blog here go dormant, although I am happy to see that it still receives a healthy number of visitors. I am now active at my new web site, Fundamentals of Mathematics and Physics, https://FoMaP.org . I have copied all of the content from this site onto my new site, and have deleted all of the substantive content from this site, except for this post. I hope all of the content at my new site, which is updated regularly, will continue to be useful to visitors.
FoMaP exists to help students learn about mathematics and science, how mathematics and science can inform our view of the world and help us understand it better, and especially to help prepare students for success in college/university programs that require mathematics and science. Many higher education programs require some mathematics, and unfortunately many students graduate from high school with poor preparation, both in mathematics and in study skills/habits.
Knowing about students who drop out of programs in business, economics, social sciences, and sciences because of their poor mathematics skills troubles me, and has encouraged me to develop this site. Students shouldn’t have to give up on their dreams because poor preparation in mathematics is holding them back.
If you wish to maximize your success in higher education, start now and make sure that your preparation in mathematics is superb.
FoMaP provides students with:
- Specific guidance on what to study and how to study it.
- Strategies for success in higher education, and strategies for building a strong foundation for success while your child is in high school.
- Individual programs are available to help struggling students get back on track, to help all students consolidate their skills and knowledge to prepare for college/university, and to help excellent (and/or bored) students get a head start into enriched, higher-level material.
- Articles and blog posts on mathematics, science, and their connection to daily life.
- A comprehensive textbook on mathematics, starting from basics and proceeding into university-level material (under development), written in a straight-forward, jargon-free style that you and your children will be able to understand.
- Tutorial webinars, where Dr. D’Agostino provides detailed, step-by-step solutions of example problems in a variety of topics (coming soon!).
