Short sets of exercises to build fluency. Every mistake has a name and is explained on the spot.

Inequalities

Secondary High school Algebra Equations

Isolating, multiplying and writing as intervals every kind of inequality, from the simplest to the rational ones.

Determinants

High school University Linear algebra Algebra

We start with 2×2 determinants and work through Sarrus and cofactors (minors) up to 4×4 matrices.

Ruffini's rule

Secondary High school Algebra Polynomials

Ordering and laying out the terms, running the algorithm and turning the result back into a polynomial.

Polynomial division

Secondary High school Algebra Polynomials

We work out how long division (with the box) works, and what the remainder means.

Derivatives: powers and roots

High school Calculus Derivatives

We start with the power rule, rewrite roots and fractions as powers, use the derivative for the tangent line, and end up differentiating (5 − 3x)⁷ with the chain rule.

Limits: who wins

High school Calculus Limits

Limits in your head: polynomials at a point and at infinity, the three cases of rational functions, who grows faster among ln x, √x, x⁵ and eˣ, and the 0/0 and 1^∞ forms you can do once you know that near 0, sin x looks like x.
