What are the
mini-movies? The mini-movies are marked with a
icon. They are are flash video files that contain a teaching
presentation with an audio track. These were recorded in my
office (not lecture) so they are short, but very dense. Movie
controls are available so you can replay, pause, and skip
sections. Because the mini-movies are Flash video files, it is
important to have the latest version of Flash installed on your
computer. Go to the following link to see if your Flash is working:

When you hover over "Create,"
"See." and "About" in the Flash area, they should open up with a
whoosh! If you can't hear the whoosh, you won't be able to hear
my mini-movies. If you can't see the "Create," "See," and
"About," you won't be able to see my mini-movies.
Here's another fun test of Flash
-- can you get the ladybug to follow your mouse?
What are the
mini-lectures? The mini-lectures are marked with a
icon. They are are flash video files that contain a small teaching
lesson with an audio track. These were recorded in my
office (not lecture) so they are short, but very dense. Movie
controls are available so you can replay, pause, and skip
sections.

*The three
mini-movies for Ian Vogt's tools were made with the 2nd
edition of the Math 208 textbook so it is referring to old page
numbers. The same images are in the 3rd edition of the
textbook -- they are just a few page numbers different.
NOTE also that Ian has moved his graphing tool. The NEW
address is:

Be sure to check out the
www.nutshellmath.com
algebra movies, especially if you are in Math 208/209 at
University of Phoenix. The entire Dugopolski textbook is
taught with excellent mini-movies. Select the chapter,
section, and problem number with which you need help and
you'll find a mini-movie explaining how to do that problem.
Other textbooks are addressed in the same way. Chances are
good that you'll find your textbook online at
